My Lead White primer separated in the Tin ?
I paint on ACM panels. I prime the panels with two coats of Lead White Primer and lightly sand between coats.
The Rublev lead white primer I use separated in the tin and I finish up with a big chunk of lead .
Question for George ?
Can I use the lead by grinding it with a solvent or is is fit for nothing more than throwing away. ?
When my lead white number 2 oil paint, which I love using, separates in the tube and goes hard, I cut it out of the tube and re-grind with Walnut Oil using a muller and slab of granite. When I’m finished I store the oil paint in a very small little jar, perfect for use and no waist.

No comment about the primer, but the lead white #2 (& all Rublev oil paints). I use the tube rack Natural Pigments carries with the tubes cap end down. I don’t have the problem of oil oozing out because it rises to the top. I never have a problem with the paint drying out. I will shake the tube before using to mix it up a bit. But it works great for me. Never had a tube dry out.

I have the Rublev paint tube racks as well and never had a problem with any of my paints since.

Separation in the can of Rublev Colours Lead Oil and Lead Alkyd Ground is normal. All that is required is to stir the contents of the can very well. This may require that you use a paint stirring stick to scrape the bottom of the can very well to re-incorporate all the pigment that settles to the bottom. There should be no chunks of solid primer. If there is, these should be removed or stained out. These do not occur under normal storage conditions.
