Do not use glass jars for storage

Hi  All,      

Like  all  of us  from  time to time i  use   glass jars to  store  mixed  up   paint   etc .......   i    was doing  the  same with  my  PVA    mix  for  balllast  the   top    gets  gunged up  with the solution   &  next time you need it the top  is  hard  if  not impossible to remove   save  a  trip  to  your  local   A&E   dept   and  store  it  in   plastic  milk  containers   if the  top    is  gunged on  them   at least  it will  give  rather  than   glass  breaking on  you   resulting  in  a nasty  injury.

Have you just got back from there Nick?
Isn't it strange that the things you want to stick together come apart just by looking at them and the things you don't want to stick act as if they've been welded together.

Hi  Poliss,    

Thankfully no  i  havnt just got  back from  there        but  my  record  over  the last   12 months at A&E    made  me think  about  another potential  visit

Not been to Casualty (A&E) since my 1972 argument with the mobile crane thankfully.

I store glass jars upside down. This way, the paint (or other fluid in the glass) seals the lid and thus avoids air getting into the glass. Before closing the glass - after using it - is wipe the rim with a paper towel and keep it it clean so nothing can gunge up.
