Thank you Julie Simms for sharing this with us!VOCs can emanate from cans of partially used paint. That doesn't mean that you have to throw the paint away though. Use this simple procedure to store paint and not only will it not give off VOCs, it will last for years:
When you're done with the paint, put the lid on tightly and then turn the can upside down on a several layers of newspaper. The newspaper is necessary just in case the lid leaks. Then, after several days, turn the can right side up and store it in a cool place. By doing this, the paint will seal the lid. By the way, don't forget to turn the can back over or you will really have a mess the next time you open it.
