Does the remaining paint in the bottle dry after a while without being used,and if it does, can you fix it afterwards?

When the remaining paint in the bottle dries up, simply add a touch of hot water to it, a little at a time and stir it with a round tooth pick till it starts to mix, but better yet and much more efficient, I tape it to a vibrating tumbler I have to clean my dirty, fired pistol brass. It's already water based anyway so you can't hurt it with water.

The paint in bottle did not dried. It remains as it was before, totally usable. Because, after using last month, I followed the instructions and added a small portion of water in it, without sacking the bottle, and then closed the bottle.

I don't exactly know. Since the paint is water-based, drying out inside the bottle is possible. I don't know the shelf-life on the paint. Upon first opening the bottle, there was plenty of liquid along with the glow substance, so if you close the bottle (tighten the cap) well, it should remain usable for quite a while. After applying the paint, the drying time (24-hours recommended) allows the liquid to evaporate and leave only the glow substance remaining. For my purposes, I applied a few thin coats of clear fingernail polish after the paint drying time, to help seal and protect the glow substance from moisture. I hope that helps. I don't exactly know.

It has a finish on it, but I wouldn't call it totaly sealed. I think if it was lightly sanded the new paint would stick. Have you considered chaulk paint? It adheres to almost any surface without any if little prep work.

I didn't heck that on my bottle before I stored it away in the cabinet. I would use it up to at least one year and maybe even two years. I would just make sure the top of the bottle is clean before you sealed it.

It is not necessary to use the entire bottle all at one time. If you are done spraying the area, but the bottle is not empty, you can safely save it for use another time.

So far, no. It doesn't seem like the paint could come off.I like this thermos very much. REALLY keeps things hot or cold. Lightweight too.

It comes stained... In fact you can smell the stain pretty strongly when unpacked so you'd probably have to sand it down again to paint it.

Probably, but I would not. If it was the painted ones the paint would burn off, and if it was the brushed one it would discolor. Chances are the bottle would warp under that kind of heat too.

I would just wait til it's completely dry. I loved these for my daughters room and I had to re-stick a couple of times and never had a problem with paint coming off.

yes, I have reused mine so many times. I recommend that you put it in a bucket of water as soon as you finish with it so the paint doesn't set up on it. I then clean it when I clean my paint sprayer and hang it to dry. This package will last a long, long time.

Yes, I have used the paint out of the bottles and I have also added water to thin the paint and change the color.

Yes. This is a dry lubricant that will need to be removed prior to painting.

After the 30 min bake in I would use the paint in a few hours. Later that night of painting I check the mixing cup and it was allready skinned over 12 hours later. Also open hardners have a short shelf life. I wouldn't use an open container past a few months

I would say it holds up better than most paints...but nothing lasts forever. It will have to be repainted in 2-3 years.

that doesn't sound right. if the cap is properly replaced it should go good until the bottle is empty. I love this stuff--use it for mosaic work mostly but have never had that problem---and I use A LOT of glue.

I have had partially used bottles on the shelf for up to 6 months without problem. if you mix the two components together, you have a very short window of use. 5 min +/-. it is not reusable.

No. If the paint was "poured into each section" it would dry out... The container lid is not air tight. If the different paint colors were placed individually into small air tight containers that fit into each section, it would work fine. But the lid does not seal air tight onto the container with sections. It hold beads or buttons, etc., well.

I've had an open jug, about half full, on the shelf (in a dark room) for about 2 years now and it is still fine. I use it periodically and no sign of deterioration, mold, or discoloration of any kind. We do live in a dry climate (I don't know if this makes a difference). Just make sure to pour off a portion into a separate container before dipping cloths into it etc (so the original bottle does not get contaminated). And close it well right after pouring off what you need. I've used it extensively on solid maple, and on a few teak items also. Excellent results every time. And no chemical reaction for me! :) I've had an open jug, about half full, on the shelf (in a dark room) for about 2 years now and it is still fine.
