Gravity can cause some solids to settle on the bottom of the can and slight separation on the top. This is normal.

If working with older paint, use a paint mixing attachment on a drill to reincorporate the solids. If the solids dissolve and the clumps smooth out after mixing from the bottom, the product is in good condition. 

If your water based product has large chunks that cannot be incorporated by stirring, the product has frozen and can no longer be used.

 

General Finishes Enduro line of water-based coatings is formulated for professional, industrial and OEM for operations. Comprehensive videos for each product are available on YouTube, and comparison charts at www.GeneralFinishes.com.
