Homax Paint Hardener
As advertised, works great on latex paints and primers. Thickens beyond pouring in 15, and turns into a solid rubbery mass after an hour.

Seems like a pretty good product that deals with a sometimes thorny issue—how to get rid of a can or partially filled can of latex paint. Stir it in, let it set up for a few minutes and to the trash bin it goes. It’s just for latex. Oil-based paint comes more under the heading of hazardous waste.

Per package directions, you need 1 pkg per 2/3 gal of paint. I found I needed 1.5 pkg if more than 2/3 gal. This was not enough to deter me from using it.

I was very pleased with this purchase. The product worked as advertised - and the results were faster than I expected. I appreciated receiving the stickers that allowed me to label our trash with notice of
hardened latex paint & the heaviness of the trash bin as a result.

This only worked on Latex paint. Not on oil based. I ended up using oil dry for the oil based paints, then disposed on the dried up paint.
