Got burned on a set of dried out acrylics from a garage sale

Spent $12 on a bundle of what looked like barely used Liquitex tubes. Got home and half of them were crusted solid. Has anyone else had luck reviving old paint or should I just toss em?

Damn that sucks. The crusty tube lottery gets us all eventually, it's not your fault.

Ugh yeah that's a bummer. Try a little warm water and acrylic medium on the crusty bits, sometimes you can break them down enough to use for underpainting. If it's rock solid though, just let em go, not worth the headache.
