Hello,

I have several cans of Latex paint (including one can of primer) in my
shed. Some cans are almost full and some are almost empty. It has been
below freezing off and on this winter season. Are those cans of paint
garbage now?

Thanks,

Would it make sense to you to open the cans and try a little sample of
each?


Yup, but it's still below freezing and I'm afraid that once I get the lid
off now, I wont be able to get it back on.



What??? Why would that be the case?

Bring the cans in the house for 48 hours. Shake the bejeezuz out of them,
like the mixing machines at the paint stores. Test on a clean piece of wood.
