After finishing the work, there is usually some leftover (wood/wall) paint remaining in the can. However, once exposed to air, this paint starts to dry out and therefore has a limited shelf life.
Is there a way to prevent or slow down this process? I have heard that lightly coating the remaining paint with (sunflower?) oil can block air contact and thus prevent aging.
Is this true?
Or is there another method?

I always place a layer of cling film directly on the leftover paint in the bucket. It has always worked well so far.This also works for pudding to prevent a skin from forming ;-)In der Ruine schrieb:

Do you still have some pudding left over? No. But sometimes you want to process it further.
