				<title>rejuvenating old paint</title>
				<description><![CDATA[ Hi all, sorry if this is covered elsewhere, but does anyone have any tips on how to restore/rejuvenate old paint? I've got racks and racks of Citadel Miniatures paint pots, some of them must be 10 years old? I haven't had a proper look in all of them but some haven't been touched in years as I've been out of the scene for a while. The last time I looked I'm sure some were starting to dry up and solidify. Is there a known thinner that is preferred for sorting these paints? I'm hoping that at least the ones that aren't too screwed I can add a little thinners and give them a good shake every now and then to restore them, as it'll be quite expensive to replace the lot! Is there any hope or should I just bin anything that looks dodgy and bite the bullet and start again?  <img src="/s/i/a/8f7b3f87df347f2cf6c1e7d5e119a067.gif" border="0"> <br /> <br /> Thanks guys<br /> <br /> Nat]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[ A few drops of regular ordinary water does the trick for me, if the paint isn´t actually dry.<br /> <br /> However, dried paint cannot (<span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(298);'>afaik</span>) be brought back to life, due to the nature of acrylic paint. Which means it´s water soluble when wet, but not when it´s dry.<br /> <br /> (I should at this point insert a sentence saying that this is of cours only my own experience, and in no way meant to be a full survey of the possibilities and limitations of acrylic and other paints, as dictated by the google-fu clans of the interwebs. There, I said it.)<br /> <br /> Anyways, back on topic, my advice would be to try bringing them back with water, and if that doesn´t do the trick, bin them.<br /> <br /> And then buy colors as you need them, way cheaper that way, than going berzerko on paints, and suddenly having Hawk Turqouise for no apparent reason...<br /> <br /> P.S. I still have a few paints in the really really old school hard rubber pots, so old doesn´t necessarily mean useless...]]></description>
