Hello,

I have several cans of Latex paint (including one can of primer) in my shed.
Some cans are almost full and some are almost empty. It has been below
freezing off and on this winter season. Are those cans of paint garbage
now?

Thanks,

Would it make sense to you to open the cans and try a little sample of
each?

Yup, but it's still below freezing and I'm afraid that once I get the lid
off now, I wont be able to get it back on.

I should also mention that there is frost on the outside of the cans. The
frost is only where the paint fills the can.

What??? Why would that be the case?

Bring the cans in the house for 48 hours. Shake the bejeezuz out of them,
like the mixing machines at the paint stores. Test on a clean piece of wood.

Looks like it might be easier to sit in the house and type questions
for usenet.
I hate it when other Canadians ask lazy questions. ;)
