You can add solvent to soften paint. Not all paints use the same kind of solvent, however, so you may have to experiment (although the label, if it is not covered with paint drippings, should tell you). Many paints can be softened with turpentine. You can also use paint remover.

Where you ever had to use surface area outside of math?

Calculating whether I had enough paint to decorate a room in my house ! I had to work out what size tin of emulsion to get. Since the estimated coverage of the tin of paint is displayed on the label - knowing the area I wanted to paint enabled me to buy the correct size of tin. Additionally - calculating the area of carpet required for the newly-painted room ensured I didn't have too much left over after I cut it to fit !
