Suitable for thinned anti foul?

How does that thing work? Does it compress air to spray the paint or just pump the paint through a nozzle? I had a pump type sprayer many years ago and sprayed cellulose paint with it when I restored a motorcycle, but it was pretty hopeless because the paint had to be thinned almost to the consistency of water to stop it clogging or producing an orange peel finish.

No. It would take forever. Best just slap it on thick with a roller.

I had something similar years ago and, for the odd job it was fine apart from a nasty habit of spattering big drops when it ran out, thereby ruining all your hard work, but this can be avoided by refilling at 1/4 full rather than when it runs out. If I were doing regular painting, I'd still go to Aldidl, but get a compressor and air sprayer. I could then justify all the nice air-driven workshop toys they have from time to time...

Have a Burgess sprayer. Great piece of kit for slapping on emulsion. Quick and easy between tenants
The thinned emulsion goes further and dries quicker. Does need 2 or 3 coats.
Also need some technique to get the viscosity right and avoid the splutter as it runs out.
Not sure it would be any good with anti foul.
Did an amazing job on a massive vanishing job too
