Post storing paint
I know I can't be the only person who is having this issue. I've got a whole mess of Monster Kolor that I keep in a lovely plastic toolbox. I haven't had the time (and the humidity has been working against me) to get into the paints, so they are all still sealed.

That being said, my home office (where I store everything) smells like the spray bay at Earl Schieb.

How do you folks store your paints as to not be in a constant paint-huffing high? I know this can't be good for me, but I just don't know what to do.

Wow. That does sound bad.
Do you have a garage or some other, more airy, place you can store them?

I just keep my MK in sealed ziplock baggies when I'm not using it... it works great, but it DOES stink to high hell in the bottles.

Couldn't you just transfer the paint to standard glass jars?
I had no idea MK was so stinky... and "the powers that be" thought vcolor was bad! :twisted:

I can't imagine what it's like at Dead Presidents Designs. My mailman asked me just what I needed such strong paints for when he delivered the unmarked box. The one upside is that my cats will now no longer screw with my painting gear when I have it laying out in my prep area.

I'm picking up a metal box with a good seal tomorrow to put the MK bottles in. We'll see if that does anything.
