I had a bunch of paint that had dried up and since I'm cheap I tried to save them so I got some water simmering and put the paint pots in it for a while. I stirred them here and there and added a little water to some and although I couldn't save all of them I did give most of them new life. I even saved some that I thought were completely screwed. So I thought I would share my experience and encourage others to give it a try and let me know how it goes.

Good Luck!

I find adding a few drops (and I mean drops) of paint thinner to the pot, with perhaps a bit of water, also works wonders.

One thing I have noticed, some of my very old GW paints have remained liquid and they are 10 years old, whereas some of the new GW ones less than a year have dried up. Very strange..
