Default Bought too much paint

15 years ago a painter told me that if I wanted to store an open can
of paint, make sure the top's well hammered on, then store it upside-
down. That way any skin is on the bottom. (before storing upside-
down on the floor, though, I'd keep the can in a bucket for a week to
make sure it wasn't leaking)

I've used decade-old paint stored in this manner and the color was
indistinguishable from the original.

But-- I didn't let it freeze.


Great idea! It's always the simple ones.
