Paint additive

[Skyking1992]

I remember reading sometime ago about an additive for paint that made it "flow" or smooth out. Can't remember the name or find the thread. Any ideas?

It's generally called extender. The more popular one is called floetrol.

Penetrol

Floetrol is one such additive, sold at Home D_p_t, for latex paints. Still not as smooth a finish as a good oil based paint, but definitely easier on the clean up side.

Thanks guys.

I know this is the place to come for answers. Floetrol is what I was thinking of.

Floetrol for latex paint.

Penetrol for oil based paints.

Never been much impressed with Floetrol but Penetrol rocks.
