In an uncharacteristic fit of enthusiasm last year I decided to re-paint the outside of the house. So I bought a load of paint, but only managed to finish the front before boredom set in.
The rest of the tins, some opened, some untouched, sat in the garage over winter and when I decided to do a bit more at the weekend i found they'd all been got at by the frost.
It's all Dulux Trade Weathershield paint. Some is the smooth masonry water based and some is the high gloss oil based.
The masonry paint has gone a bit grainy and the oil based has gone all thin and hard to mix to an even consistency.
Will it all have to be chucked or is there a way of bringing it back to life?
If it were mayonaisse, I'd just add another egg and keep stirring, but it's not. 😕
Normally they say protect from frost. In which case they are ****ed. May gone on alright but it will be coming off fairly quick.
It can be quite difficult to mix if it has settled out. Get something to scrape the bottom and see what's there. We use power mixers on anything bigger than a 2.5L tin if it's started to settle as doing it by hand is virtually impossible.
Power mixer sounds a good idea. Just concerned the bread and pastry might taste funny if I don't clean it properly afterwards though.
