The very thin nature of water makes it hard to control the substance, though it does make water perfect for spraying finer mists, watering plants with a garden hose nozzle, and other key applications that rely on the relatively thin nature of water. If a glass of water gets spilled, it easily splashes everywhere and runs all over the table, the counter, and the floor. Most people are familiar with the viscosity, or lack thereof, of a typical glass of water. The various levels of paint viscosity can actually be compared to materials used in everyday life. Those homeowners or contractors using a sprayer, however, need to be more concerned with the exact viscosity of the paint to ensure that it can be applied uniformly to the surface without uneven ridges, tough application, or even damage done to the sprayer during painting.Ĭonsidering Viscosity: How to Relate Paint Thickness to Everyday Life In most cases, interior paints for the home come in a nearly uniform level of viscosity that makes them perfect for brushes or rollers. In simple terms, it measures the paint’s thickness and determines whether the paint can be applied with a brush, a roller, a sprayer, or other methods of application. Viscosity itself is concerned mostly with the paint’s “resistance” to disruption.
