My paint has dried: how to recover it

You sit down to paint, you open the #14 can and the paint is thick or stuck to the bottom. Don't worry: in most cases it can be recovered in a couple of minutes.

If it is thick or pasty

1. Add water drop by drop. Wet the tip of the brush or a toothpick and drop one or two drops into the bottle. Do not pour water directly from the tap: it is very easy to overdo it.
2. Stir well. Mix with the toothpick or brush handle until there are no lumps.
3. Wait a couple of minutes and stir again. If it is still thick, add another drop.

If it is completely dry

If the paint has become a hard block, it can no longer be rehydrated. Before giving it up as lost, see if there is soft paint left under the crust: remove the dried layer with a toothpick and use the one below.

If you still run out of that color

That's what our 100-day paint guarantee is for: if you run out of any color within 100 days of your purchase, we'll send it to you for free.

How to prevent it from happening again

• Open only the cans that you are going to use in that session.
• Clean the rim of the jar before closing it: the dried paint on the rim prevents it from closing properly.
• Press the lid until you hear the click.
• Store the jars upright, away from the radiator and the sun.
