What can I get out of red minium lead paint?
So I have this 500mL can of red lead paint, what can I do with it? It's pretty old, like from the 1960s... It has divided in layers, the oily
yellowish top and the red muddy bottom. Can I get anything out of it?

Oil base.
Red Lead.
Possible other filler materials.
Drying catalysts for the oil base.
You could have just googled for an MSDS?
Rapopart’s Rules for critical commentary:
1. Attempt to re-express your target’s position so clearly, vividly and fairly that your target says: “Thanks, I wish I’d thought of putting it
that way.”
2. List any points of agreement (especially if they are not matters of general or widespread agreement).
3. Mention anything you have learned from your target.
4. Only then are you permitted to say so much as a word of rebuttal or criticism.

You can get a big red mess. Most paints had lead oxide (white pigment as a base) and then other pigments as well, likely several pigments there,
which will make it hard to clean up. But you could wash the solids with mineral spirits then decant off the liquids after letting them settle for a
few days and maybe get some lead compounds. Likely easier to take apart a battery and make them.

Yeah, I'm currently doing that too. I guess I'll leave
that paint where it is.
