The proper way to dispose of latex paint is to let it dry out completely, then throw it away in the regular trash. You can also take it to a household hazardous waste collection site for proper disposal. Do not pour it down the drain or into the environment.
No. Once latex paint has frozen, it is ruined.
by recycling it :)
yes but not the other way around the latex passes moisture
The best way to dispose of a cartridge is to recycle it, if you are not able to get a refill for it. You will take it to any recycling facility to dispose of it.
Household paints contain tints and chemicals that make them undesirable in today's landfill and dump sites. The current way to dispose of latex paint is to open the can and allow the paint to completely solidify. Then check with your local landfill/dump sites to find out their policies on how to get rid of the cans. Most Hazardous waste collections do not include latex paints, however many of them will take the dried cans as a courtesy. For more information please see the related link below.
with white spirit. (its a fact)
It depends on whether it is a water (latex) based paint or a oil based paint. If it is oil based paint it may not come out, but if it is a water (latex) based paint use 'Goof Off' or other latex paint removers with a wire brush. I have used 'Muriatic acid' on some concrete appications.
Bring it to a recycling center
pour it over a fire
What do you mean? Yes, paint on wood trim is typically latex these days. Some older homes may still have alkyd (oil), though. To find out for sure, put a little nail polish remover on a cotton swab and rub it on the paint in an inconspicuous location. It it gets soft and starts to come off, it's latex. Either way, sand it lightly and recoat with the same type of paint and you're good. If you're asking about bare wood, DON'T USE LATEX! The water will swell the grain of the wood. Use an oil primer that is made to take latex topcoats.
To effectively remove latex paint from a surface, you can use a few methods. One common way is to scrape off the paint using a putty knife or scraper. Another method is to use a chemical paint stripper specifically designed for latex paint. You can also try using a heat gun to soften the paint and then scrape it off. Be sure to follow safety precautions and instructions when using these methods.
Any paint and decorating store should have little pads (like wet-wipes) that you rub onto the painted surface. Whether or not the paint rubs off will tell you what kind of paint was originally used.
