    About this product

    What to do with a half can of latex paint

    Leftover paint should never go down a drain or onto the ground. Homax Waste Away Paint Hardener gives you another way out by turning the paint solid. You stir one 3.5 oz pack into the can, and as much as 2/3 gallon firms up in 15 to 20 minutes.

    It is meant for latex and acrylic paint, along with stains of those two kinds, and you can sprinkle it on a spill too. There is no need for newspaper, kitty litter or sand. The product is made for curbside disposal of hardened paint, but rules differ from town to town, so ask your local waste service what it takes. Use it only with the paint types it names.

    Before you start

    Leftover paint, sealers and solvents do not belong in the drain. Harden latex paint for the trash where your town allows it, and take the rest to a household hazardous waste drop-off.
