It creates a great seal so no air gets in. There are a few things I do first to make sure this works. When I open it up and before I pour, I put nail holes inside the rim so the paint goes back inside the can. Then before I close it I clean that rim really well before hammering on the lid lightly. Then I flip and store. It works great every time.<br /> But i love the bottle idea for seeing you color and the air tightness for small batches of leftover paint. <br />your so smart!!<br />Kim@reposhtureKimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10015458225673508253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3133880622852492921.post-10451052191813189532013-07-23T21:05:19.472-05:002013-07-23T21:05:19.472-05:00Revi,

I'm a lazy painter and I hate cleaning the roller and brushes. <br />I bought some paint the other day and the color is too light. You've inspired me. I'm going to go get a quart of something to darken it. I've been afraid to do it but you <br />are fearless :) Thank you for sharing. I'm excited to see your new studio!!<br />Clara from Redeemed Junk and StuffClarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00738057909765876853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3133880622852492921.post-24651139863086534872013-07-22T23:24:59.016-05:002013-07-22T23:24:59.016-05:00I have done the ladder thing for years, but I neve...I have done the ladder thing for years, but I never figured out a good way to have paint on hand for touch ups.

I had a favorite one for over ten years until the dog ate the bristles off.

(it's diy chalk paint too) <br />I like the bottle idea for touch up paint. <br />I have found that the big containers my folger's coffee comes in, is great for paint 'saving'. It's air tight, not breakable and stackable! (for easy storage) <br />Hope you get to sleep in your room tonight and there are no V.O.C's to make you sick or give a head ache. <br />I still haven't painted with my Ooops! Linen yet. <br />Hope to get to that soon! <br />I'm happy you have a new room...and have envy at the same time.

Brilliant tip about the water bottle...I'm going to do that right now. I hate the chalk paint cans with a passion. I pour them into tea bottles for large amounts, but filling several smaller water bottles sure would be easy for all sorts of reason.<br />Thanks smart lady!Tina@WhatWeKeephttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03784869477053139668noreply@blogger.com
