paint goes bad------yo-yo-yo! word up! what be good in one 'hood , not be
good in all-a-da 'hood!
paint seems to be a very wierd item in relation to long term storage. if
your gallon can is full to the top(you know what i mean....a full gallon)
it will keep for quite a while. but if it is ,say, half a gallon in a
gallon can.....it could skin over in the can and even harden completly! and
paint is temperature sensitive! do not allow paint to freeze! you get the
nicest chunky stuff after the thaw. and the other extreme is do not store
paint in an extreme heat area either. presure can cause lid to pop open and
it will harden sitting on the shelf with a partially open lid.
the same goes for spraycans too. and to add insult to injury, some spray
cans wil loose pressure in long term storage and when you go to use it , it
just dribbles(if that) out ofthe nozzle.

like, um, how do i know all this? it all happened to a guy i
know...........right? (it's never you that this stuff happens to ,
right?....wrong it has all happened at 1 time or another to me)......c. :)
