Paint question.
I need to touch up an area of the wall in my bedroom that I painted a year or two ago. Evidently the paint (which had an inch or so left in the bottom of the can) was not sealed well and it is just a block now. It is acrylic latex. Can I just add a thinner and reconstitute it or am I going to have to get some more mixed? And what kind of thinner?

2. Buy a new can.
There is a great product called Floetrol that you can add to latex paint to help it spread better.

You can also use water. You'd be surprised how 6 one gallon buckets with an inch of paint in them can be combined, mixed with water, and magically turned into a FULL gallon!
