Paint Hardener for Latex & Acrylic

Homax 3535 is a clear sodium polyacrylate additive that solidifies leftover latex and acrylic paints or stains for safer disposal. The 3.5 oz container treats up to two-thirds of a gallon and works in both interior and exterior settings. It is intended for homeowners, contractors and DIYers who need to harden unwanted paint before throwing it away.

Simple Stir-In Application

Pour the powder into the paint can and stir until fully mixed; the mixture begins to set in 15 to 20 minutes. Clean-up requires only soap and water while the product is still wet. The main difficulty is judging the exact paint volume so the hardener ratio remains effective.

Handles Two-Thirds of a Gallon Per Bottle

One 3.5 oz unit comfortably solidifies 2/3 gal of compatible latex or acrylic coatings. Larger quantities will require multiple bottles, and oil-based or specialty finishes are not supported by this formulation.

Questions about this item

How can I tell the paint hardener has finished working after I stir it in?

The mixture will solidify within 15 to 20 minutes, turning the liquid paint into a firm, non-spillable mass that is ready for disposal.

What comes in the package and what else do I need to harden my paint?

The 3.5 oz container of clear hardener is included; you only need the latex or acrylic paint you want to solidify and a stir stick, which are not supplied.

Is the 3.5 oz size enough for the amount of leftover paint I have?

One 3.5 oz bottle treats up to 2/3 gallon of latex or acrylic paint, so choose this size if your leftover volume is at or below that level.
