Seems like the acrylic paints (and sometimes enamels, too) in those glass bottles always stick to the liner of the cap - wiping the paint from the rim of the bottle after use helps for awhile, but eventually the liner sticks to the bottle and delams, ruining the liner. Is there a way to prevent this? Failing that, what would be recommended as a replacement liner?
A smear of petrolium jelly along the top of the rim and threads of the glass or plastic bottle will keep the paint from sealing the lid on even if the paint dries.
It will also work with tins like Humbrol paints.
I’ve heard of people using Saran Wrap but have never tried it. I wonder if a piece of waxed paper cut to fit the lid would work. ?? Anybody ever try it ??
I’ve used thin plastic sheet stock, (Evergreen,) easy to mark to proper size, then use a compass with sharp blade for cutting through. Also, many packaging containers are suitable for the same. The thinner, the better.
Have tried Saran Wrap, aluminum foil and others, but they seem too thin to allow a reliable compression seal, and they are pretty much a one time use.
