FYI latex paint and texture sand in balloons can do a number.

you can also use latex paint with a latex thinner to make it usable in a super soaker.

Does the thinner not fuck up the super soaker?

latex thinners for latex paint aren't solvent based like oil or lacquer based paints. so using them on plastics should be fine.

the hard part will be ensuring the sprayer head stays clear.

keep a wet rag or paper towel around to wrap the tip in to ensure the paint stays moist and uncured.
