Finally had to buy new Foundry Paints. Not dried up, just used up the black, white, red, etc. Lids are crumbling, but the others are going strong. Old ones lasted 16 years & I can't think of higher praise than that! |

I'm folding them in gradually. GW, I regularly throw out, even though I go round and squirt in some distilled water every few months. I'm embracing Reaper paints now too. |

Ever try adding a couple drops of extender? |

I had same problem with lids crumbling so I bought a hundred or so replacement lids for a pittance.
Just found the invoice in the box. 0.08 GBP per lid, which is a lot less than buying a new pot of paint. |

Swampster- Can I get the supplier/what to search for for the lids? The hinges on that style of pot never seem to last for me- any idea what I'm doing wrong? Thanks |

Swampster, ditto what Zagloba said. I've found the hinges don't last too long, and if left in sunlight, the lids become brittle and crack. |

One option link – same pots/lids as Foundry. Also sells pots. |
