Humbrol Acrylic tubs

[JayBee]

OK guys, this may be a daft question, BUT...............

I have got a couple of tubs of Humbrol Acrylics.
One end of the tub has a flip top opening, the other has a screw top.
What the heck am I meant to do!

constructive answers would be very helpfull.

Flip it, if you screw it, you'll, well, screw it!  If you unscrew it, when you try to put it back together again, the paint will ooze up the sides, the screwing action will further force paint up.

Simon, who found out before & kinda forgot why, so just tried it again & has ruined (another) a perfectly good pot of paint....

Flip top I think! are you sure the other end is actually a screw top? i think you'll find it unscrews the whole jar from the flip top lid...

cheers

Yep, I now have blue fingers to prove it!

Don't worry Jim I had the same problem  .

Someone told me that the screw part was designed so you could get a large brush in the pot, obvously not !

I'm still having problems with them drying out, unless they are meant to be that thick ?

The new Revell ones threw me for ages, until I realised you had to screw them, I'd been prising the lid off
