Can You Use Latex Semi-Gloss Paint That Was Frozen?

The label instructions on every can of latex paint clearly state “Do Not Freeze.” Freezing can indeed ruin paint. However, some latex paint may be salvageable after freezing, because certain additives control freeze-thaw stability. Previously frozen latex semi-gloss paint can sometimes be used. Whether the paint survives freezing depends on how many times it has been frozen and thawed.
