P.S. NJ CAN NOT BUY OIL BASED ANYMORE.

Yes you can use the same macines. It will be hard to change back to latex but not that bad. Once you use the oil you will not want to go back to latex if you can help it. Acetone paint is oil based paint. Jim

The only trick I know of to use latex in the cold is not too. You should be fine using the same machine, jut make sure you clean it out REAL good before you put the Acetone in it. You may have to crank up the preasure too. The Acetone seems to need extra preasure to keep from "fingering". You'll like the Acetone in the cold. It still dries fast even at those temps. Jpanz.. why do you say not to put latex in it after the Acetone. If he cleans good and uses MEK he should be able to switch back right??

I didnt say not too. Once you use oil based, you may not want to go back to latex because you can use oil all the time but on sealcoat. Jim

Opps.. misunderstood, and I agree. I didn't even consider that's what you were saying to SEAL ALOT SEALALOT, I'm sure you use coal tar, but was wondering if you ever considered using asphalt emulsion. I'm not a seal coat guy so I don't have a clue. What I do know is the guys I see spraying asphalt emulsion have it pretty easy compared to the coal tar guys. They just work in regular clothes, and don't seem to be botherd by fumes at all. Plus, we hop on the job as soon as it's "dry" and spray Acetone, sometimes right through damp spots and it stays bright white. Just curious
