And does anyone remember it? (Tin is 50+ years old - waste not want not!).

Im not that old just yet !!! LOL. If you put a bit of tuprs in it and give it a good stir, you might just be able to use it !!

What do you mean "might" ... had another tin in another colour I used a couple of years ago to paint shelves in my shed. Took two days to stir, didn't need any turps and it was a beautiful "runnyish" gloss, a dream to apply and a superb finish. Not a chip in sight.

Nobody on the forum called "Jellipex" is there? Still got a tin of that - you never know when it may come in handy.

Good point roughcaster - never thought about that. I'll ring Environmental Health and find out about disposal. Suppose the shelves will have to go as well.

All this because I was poking around making a list of the VOC content of my paint stock before I asked a question about the "stinkiness" level of water-based satinwood.
