Looking for small paint jars

Post by Beausabre »

Anybody got a source for small (2 oz or so) paint jars?

That's one thing I hate about digital photography: no more excess 35mm film cans to mix paints in!
"If the early Japanese had had beer bottles, and one had ever been broken and used in a brawl, they would then immediately decide on the technique for breaking the bottle, and how to get the proper jagged edge. And they would have had names for the different kinds of edges, strikes, and all of it." - Hank Reinhardt

I know that's not what the instructions say, but the kit's wrong anyway.

Tamiya sells empty bottles, too.

I use Vallejo 35ml 26000 when I can find them. Otherwise I just re-purpose my Tamiya & Com-Art bottles.

Become a superfan of Inglehoffer mustard and go through a jar every couple of days? :D

Their shape makes a great brush rinsing jar, too.

They are a little large, but I've got a lot of old baby food jars that I use.
I must not fear. Fear is the mind killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
