Latex Paint
If you can’t use it up or give it away, remove lid, absorb with cat litter, sawdust, speedy dry/paint hardener product, and dispose with trash once it is solid.
Money & Waste-Saving Tip
Measure all surfaces to be painted. Once you have calculated the total square feet, divide by 400. At 400 square feet/ gallon, that will tell you how many gallons you need.
