A Paint question

I have a gallon of West Marine CPP Ablative paint that is 3 years old. I used some of it and then sealed the can. I have about 3/4 of a gallon and it has not been opened since April 2007.

Can I use it?

Definitely suggest try to have it put on a shaker.
Maybe home depot or lowe's .
Can be done by hand but it won't be fun !

LETS GO BRANDON

I have one of the drill bits to mix paint. Better and easier to have it shaken in a paint store or at worst marine.

Paul welcome and Makomike.. Yes it is easier but unless you get lucky or know the place well most look at you like your asking for their firstborn... That drill mixer isnt the greatest but it works better than a stick and a hand.. bottom/ non fouling sucks to stir by hand.. as we all know

X2, that is what I do. Got to go slow though. Just look at my garage floor !!!!

The metal will be at the bottom, so the stirrer works well to get it moving.

When I have leftover, I store the paint can upside down for that reason.
