Tried to open a bottle of paint and this happened.

Odd thing is that it's not stuck. I can still unscrew what's left of the cap. The cap just disintegrated on me!

This ever happen to anyone else?

Looks like the bottle may have been dropped and landed on the cap.

I've had it happen on Foundry paint lids. Plastic just gets old and tired after awhile.

Yes, I had it happen earlier this year for the first time. It was a bottle of Reaper Muddy Brown I'd had for several years.

Brute! :-) "Burgandy?"

Yeah. Someone needs to learn to spell over at Reaper. :)

In Reaper's defense, maybe they can't afford the real thing and they really are drinking the lower-priced knock-off "Burgandy."

Do you keep them in direct sunlight? Could be photo degradation.

I've also had Foundry lids and similar lids go fragile on me. I bought a 100 spare lids for replacing as necessary.

Too much spinach. Ark-ark-ark-ark.

Had it happen twice in the last six months. Mine were older bottles (at least five years old).
