Slarney Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 My Zvezda Acrylic Paint has become very bubbly, rough and watered down. There are noticeable chunks stuck to the pot and there is a layer of water on top of the paint, no matter how much I mix it. Is there a way to thicken it? Thanks.

fewr9fkr9595 Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 To be honest and without wanting to be harsh mate but that paint sounds like it's ready for the bin 👍🏿 As far as I am aware you can't buy manufacturers raw pigment to add to watery paint. Sounds like it has separated out and dried up. Welcome to the forum by the way 👍🏿 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sapperastro Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 It sounds like the paint is kaput. I have had ancient water based acrylics go the same way before and nothing I have attempted has saved them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welcome to the forum by the way 👍🏿 I guess I should've realised that a long time ago; the paint has been in transit from Russia to Greece in 30 degree temperatures and then the UK, and lived on my shelf for 8 months. Looks like I'm an idiot. And thank you for the welcome. Since joining a few days ago, I've procrastinated on this website for many hours already haha.
