[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 1690049, member: 18945"] Dsth, Getting it to dry for the foreseeable future on an old canvas or anything else is not possible as we haven't seen a sunny dry day in weeks and I don't see any 'drying' happening anytime soon either. As much as I hate to, I may have to pour off the separated water and dump/spread the thick pigment on a stack of mostly rotten crossties and utility poles I intend to burn. They should have enough creosote left in them to burn hot and long for about 24 hours. The pigment won't burn but it will turn into a powdery chalk that mixes invisibly with the ashes from the posts. I was hoping someone had a better idea I really don't like to burn anything 'chemical' in nature, or bury it. I refuse to burn old tires, rubber, much plastic stuff or anything like that even tho I live out in the middle of nowhere. I don't mind killing off trees but I do try to take care of the soil, water and air as much as I can. Burning the old posts is not a great idea but it's better than leaving them to rot over a few decades. There is no 'collection' or trash pickup here. Anything we have to get rid of, I have to take over to the precinct's collection point about 8 miles away and it all has to be in a trash bag, which we throw into a hydraulic or auger type compactor. Can't weigh over 30lbs/bag and can't ooze anything out into their steel container box. They are pretty dang picky about what is put in there. No liquid waste, no dead animals (bagged or otherwise) no animal entrails, no paint, batteries. they don't like large bags of yard waste (leaves/grass) either. [/QUOTE]
