I know this is a stupid question before I even ask it, but if latex paint is water soluble, why doesn't the rain eventually just run it off? I was just finishing my 3rd coat on my storm shutters that I know get heavy water flowing over them during rain, and couldn't help but wonder why a water soluble paint wouldn't run/streak...
Very good to know!!! Although, it still seems that water is enough to streak my latex interior paint if I'm trying to clean blemishes on the wall, but I imagine that's because of pressure + water, not just water then?
Try letting it dry all over your hair/hands/clothes and then see how water soluble it is ....
