I have a dilemma: Should I dispose of it, or use it? I have a few things I could use it on, none of them indoors, and the can has full mixing directions.
I'm not going to chew on any of it, should I use it, assuming it is still good?

My advice, spray it on something you want to last and don't drink it.

It says to use enamel thinner.
It's a truck color, I'll have to double check.
