It was a little deeper than I wanted, so I have trimmed it down with grim determination and absence of injury!<br /><br />I am painting in a room that has a ton of glass, so warm days are hot and hot days stifle! So this should be a great help in at least getting through a painting session.

I did wonder why I put a picture of my breakfast bowl on there, but that's where I eat it why I prepare for my morning painting session, I'm finding having a set routine is helping me to get through this lockdown. <br /><br />My little lid is left open so the paint is only really usable for a day, but that still saves a lot of paint blobs. Know what you mean re the mildew issue, one drawback of the closed box.'Lee.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02728400013024811279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2182231306997961847.post-71962270663146954412020-04-29T05:01:39.180-07:002020-04-29T05:01:39.180-07:00Let me know how you get on please Norm.

These days I use a folded paper towel (I have a Tupperware box that exactly fits a paper towel folded into quarters), and my top sheet is baking parchment, which is pretty much like greaseproof anyway, I think. If I keep the box cool, and put the lid on when I'm not using it, the paint can stay useable for a week or more (not Vallejo, for some reason, it separates out) - biggest problem can be mildew starting in the box! I could probably grow my own penicillin.MSFoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14470241067504971068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2182231306997961847.post-951255276143642882020-04-29T04:00:12.629-07:002020-04-29T04:00:12.629-07:00I am so impressed by the ‘lid’ palette that I am o...I am so impressed by the ‘lid’ palette that I am off right now to get my own sorted out. i have used them in the past, but they have been annoyingly too big!Normhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05031444717952755557noreply@blogger.com
