Super28 Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 Just got a couple of things I found or saw. First one is a trip to Dollar Tree. Found these paint thingys, great for mixing small amounts of paint for details Also a cutting board to keep from cutting on my desk. Being from Dollar Tree, they're a dollar each Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super28 Posted September 21, 2020 Author Share Posted September 21, 2020 Next I saw this somewhere, maybe here in the forum. Can't remember, senile. Anyways the top to a rattle can, or that least Rustoleum, has a center perfect for those little square Testor's bottles we all have a million of. Just cut the outside down to the same size as the center. Also cut down a plain cap for the Tamiya and Master Modeler's paint jars. To stop those nasty "knock overs" we do. Hope it helps someone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Roberto Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 I like the spray can lid holder idea. It's one of those "why didn't I think of that" ideas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super28 Posted September 24, 2020 Author Share Posted September 24, 2020 Same here. No more cussing over knocked over jars! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TarheelRick Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 Since I am beginning to get the "old man" shakes in the hands that paint bottle holder idea looks really good and I have plenty of lids from empty cans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Roberto Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 Has anyone ever knocked over a bottle of Tamiya thin cement on top of a sheet of decals? Just a little tip, from someone who knows, it doesn't do the decals any good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NOBLNG Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 If you have a battery powered mixer you can put an empty TP tube over the bottle while mixing. That way, when you lift the mixer out you don’t spray little paint droplets everywhere. Using a mixer also keeps paint off the lids as opposed to shaking them, so the lids remain easy to remove months or years later.? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just shut the mixer off before taking it out and paint won't go spraying everywhere too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PHPaul Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 I like the TP tube/paint mixer idea. I too am too cheap to leave a drop or two of paint on the mixer. Besides, it makes it easier to clean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Thomas Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 Another tip to prevent paint bottle disasters. Use a roll of electrical or other tape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
