no doubt.. and when you do have to use a GW shade look for the old screw top bottles.. also before you start painting with it add a drop or two of water.. the paint is halfway thick to begin with so adding the water keeps moisture in the paint and streches out the bottle a little further.. dont add too much though or all you have done is make the paint a wash....

Don't shake your paint. No paint on lid means a good seal and it won't dry out.

@@Toaster-v1zYeah, but you want to mix that paint well before you use it. And shaking it is really the best way to do it imo. Which means you either need to put your GW paints into a different bottle (one with a dropper preferably), or you need to be carefull about not getting any paint into the cap. Which is doable if you pay attention and clean it once every month or so.

Best thing I ever did for my brushes was to wash when finished and dip it in regular hair conditioner (everyone has it in the bathroom). Give it a twirl and store. Wash it out before the next paint session and you’re ready to go. It’s great for your hair and your brushes are made from real hair as well. I’ve had some of my brushes for years and they still look and paint great.

Take off the nozzle and soak it in acetone for 30 minutes. Melts the CA right off and you have a brand new nozzle. No scraping or poking necessary. Also don't spray accelerator anywhere near your bottle because it floats all over including to your nozzle.

yeah keeping the lip clean of paint on the bottles will help create a much better seal. I always work off a wet palette and don't work out of the bottle for several reasons.

Something I do with gw washes I'd I'll stick em too my table with poster puddy too keep it from tipping. Another thing is when I'm done with my super glue is too unscrew off the nozzle and with the it off at squeeze the air out of the bottle and screw the nozzle on and let the air draw the left over glue in the nozzle back into the bottle.

Never EVER spend $8 on wash. Clear acrylic based floor finish + the paint color of your choice = pretty great wash or shade. A bottle of floor finish is like $7. I've had mine for 2 years and it's still over half full. You're welcome.

Homemade recipes can be very cheap, but someone may want a paint or wash that behaves a certain way. None of the youtube recipes for nuln oil or agrax earthshade really result in a close equivalent. It depends on what the painter wants to work with and the finish they desire.

Honestly.. homemade washes just aren't the same quality. And spending a few bucks on a wash that lasts for a long time.. who cares. Most people spend more on drinks on a single night out than all my GW washes combined.. But yeah. To each his own.

Citadel bottle caps aren't a conspiracy, they're just mediocre in design. It's annoying but just pulling dried paint out with a tweezer once in a while avoids drying out. Also, an excellent way to both extend paints and make them flow better is adding Vallejo's glaze medium - about ten drops for a full citadel size pot. It functions differently compared to lahmian medium and results in extremely self-leveling paint. However, it's not a good idea regardless of brands to dunk a brush in a pot and paint directly from it. You really should be advising people to learn how to use a palette whether wet or not. It is absolutely basic knowledge that should come before almost anything else. Once you learn how to gauge the viscosity of paint on the fly by dipping the tip of the brush in water then mixing on the palette just about all your painting troubles will disappear forever.

If you can’t 3D print just buy a piece of PVC pipe that fits around the pot. Cut it to length for the height of the pot, and super glue it to a strip of plasticard. I have a strip with a row of 5 that works great. Cost less that a pot of paint to make.
