Over time, a small amount of paint stored in a large container
can get pretty dried out. If left that way long enough, it
becomes totally unusable. Also, when paint is stored in its
original container, it is difficult to remember which paint
goes where.
Ron has come up with a great solution for safely storing leftover
paint. |
|
The key to paint storage is to minimize the amount of air
in the container. So plastic water bottles of all different
sizes are perfect for keeping leftover paint in good condition.
Simply match the size of the bottle with the amount of leftover
paint that you have.
A roll of masking tape keeps the bottle from tipping and a
paper towel will catch any drips. If the paint has a lot of
loose debris, you may want to put a paint filter inside the
funnel. Once the paint is in the bottle, remove the funnel
and drop about six marbles into the paint. Label the bottle
using a permanent felt tipped marker |
|
|
When it comes time to do a touch up, simply give the bottle
a shake and those marbles in the bottom will agitate and mix
the paint. Then simply open the top, pour out what you need,
close the top again, and do your touchup. When the paint level
gets about halfway down in the bottle, transfer the remaining
paint to a smaller one.
