How can I fix this paint??

I have this paradise paint that is all flaky and even if I put water it will not stay together...How can I fix it?

Perhaps you can press with a damp sponge?

Paradise gold I'm guessing? It's just like that. I bought it a few yrs ago & ended up not buying any more paradise after that because it did the same thing. Now I love paradise. I still have shied away from that color & don't know if it works.

Try adding 2-3 drops of glycerin(an ingredient already in your paint) to your spray bottle & spraying it as you use it. You can find glycerin in the band aid isle. Sometimes it sweats off the paint & makes it dry & brittle.

Glycerin is a humectant - it will attract water into any formulation you put it in. Just FYI as to why this may work

Cool, I just knew it worked & was safe to do

FYI... a little goes a long way, so don't put to much glycerin in or the paint will get very gloppy.

I put a couple of drops of glycerin in about 2 tablespoons (or was it three?) of boiling hot water and then poured it right into my cake. Then I put the whole thing in the microwave for about 5-10 seconds. The water seeps down into the paints. even if you put a bit too much water, the mixture will be hot enough for the water to evaporate pretty quickly. I left it to sit on my desk (no lid, but covered with a paper towel) for a couple of days and when I went back to it...no more crumbs and it's just as creamy as my other metallics.

Oh, after a few hours, I took a piece of saran wrap and a paper towel and pressed the cake to compress. I think the heat combined with the pressing helped it to bond to itself, I've never had another problem with it.

Alot of people take pigments and make them into a solid eyeshadow this way

Linda, its supposed to be Sunset Orange Metallic..and doesn't even look like it..same thing with the Cherry Bomb Red Metallic..
I will definetly buy Glycerin, Thank you ladies!!
I will try Lady Jayde method...
Anita, If I use a damp sponge, only the superficial part of it will stay together,once I swipe the brush in, everything its starts to crumble again...

It's just a waste of paint everywhere, everytime I pull it out..it's out of my kit for the moment!

I just went shopping for glycerin and it was behind the pharmacist's counter.

So I will go straight there!!

I'm annoyed, I was hoping (as Paradise said when we all complained years back when they 1st launched the metallics) they had solved this crumbling issue. But nope, 2 of the 5 metallics i just got are like that. I won't be buying it again - why pay for paint I have to 'fix'. A shame.
