Easy Disposal Instructions:
1 - Remove the lid and expose
the liquid paint to air in a well-ventilated area. Be sure to keep away from children and pets
2 - If there is a lot of paint, add cat litter or paint drying crystals (available at most hardware stores) to the paint. Leave the lid off and wait for the paint to be absorbed.
3 - When the paint is dry, put can and lid in the trash (leave the lid off the can)
