Storing leftover paint

Mason jars are good for keeping bits of paint for touch ups, lets you see the colour easily, and the re-sealable rubber keeps the paint fresh. The one problem is that glass breaks when it falls and can mess up a floor pretty good. I haven’t found anything else free or cheap to do the job, and would be interested if you think of anything. I’m out of good paint space too, but i think I’ll just junk the colours that I’ll never end up using.

hey Mike, you can keep it in a clean leftover plastic water or juice bottle. Just make sure to tighten on the screw cap very well and seal the bottle by running a strip of painters tape or masking tape around the neck of the bottle to provide an airtight seal.

Tip: Drop some glass marbles into the bottle to eliminate any air, raising the paint level up to the top
