Hi, some of my paints have dried out in the containers, normal GW paints. Is there a way to get them back, or do I have to just chuck 'em?

Thanks guys

add a little water or paint thinner to them. shake profusly untill they arent chunky anymore and that should do the trick. unless they are 100% dry then there is no hope.

hope that helped.

If they've dried right through you can't do much for them.

If they've just gotten really thick, remove the top layer (usually a crust will form) and add a little water to the pot, stir and repeat until it is of the same consistancy. It may be a little chunky depending on how dried out it is.
