I finished painting my bedroom. There was an area behind the bookcases I didn't paint [View all]

because it was hard to reach. Now I want the bookcases in another room.

I had, however, put away the leftover paint. That was in 1988. Says so on the label of the paint can, still barely legible.

Needless to say, it resembled a brick when I opened the can. Topping up the paint with water, heating and stirring occasionally it gradually reliquified. When it was nearly paint again, I stirred it well with an electric mixer.

Went on fine.
