    We always save ours, we often need them in the future! We've also found that even if we don't someone else might. You're better to just save it!

    Thank you so much for this tip. ✨ Can i also use the same method with my clear acrylic emulsion? I accidentally spilled the can on the floor and wipe it with water. Now i have a bucket of it filled with mixed water and acrylic emulsion.

    what about water based paint, stuff we used inside house said "water based"

    • @lisagrim8823

      That is Latex Paint that was referred to in the video. So you add the cat litter as suggested.

    I'll save drops for touch ups or the next owner. All the other stuff is too much work.

    Why use cat litter? Just open the can, let it dry for a day or 2.
    Then throw it out. Or you can peel off the paint, and reuse the can.

    and TURN the tin UPSIDE DOWN, the skin formed sits at the top, when you FLIP the paint over the top is now the bottom... now the skin is at the bottom

    If you have extra why don't you just keep it? Wtf you used it and you don't want some on hand to do touch up?
    Even in moving situations you store at the house you moved from

      I agree about hanging on to paint for touch-ups. We repainted our house and covered all the paint of the old color that we were hanging on to, so we used kitty litter to get rid of the extra of that paint. We are now storing the extra of the current color.

      They did not say to then pressurize the jar. Just use the jar and canning lid, so there will be no issue.
