Do any of our sponsors carry the small 1/4 pint paint cans for PG or Lumiseal? They are available online but you have to purchase by the case. I have searched locally at hobby and craft stores with no luck. Re: 1/4 pint paint can

Thanks Tom, someone had mentioned that here prior to the Expo and that got me thinking. I was hoping that a retail sponsor had them so I didn't have to pay $10 S&H for one $3 item. Thinking, again (dangerous) was it mentioned that he had foam cores too at the Expo? That would be enough to combine S&H. I'll send him an email. Re: 1/4 pint paint can

I just put the metal top from a Testors paint bottle on my PG bottle. First I drilled a small hole and put in a wood screw.
Guess what you're not seeing with a paint can? When I remove the screw to let PG out...air bubbles go in. It's physics. Edit - forgot to mention that I am going two years on this bottle and it's still as thin as new. _________________________________________ "Angling is extremely time consuming.

Mike,
If you can't find an empty 4oz paint can, you can certainly buy a 4oz can of "something in the paint dept", clean the can, and be in business for about $5. Clyde Re: 1/4 pint paint can

If you do this properly, a vacuum will build inside the paint can. PG will stay liquid for years in one.

Tom - if there is a vacuum in the can, why would PG drip out? Am I missing something?
Seems like a PG glass bottle with the metal cap is the same environment. I was a little worried when I saw bubbles the first time, but it's been good for years. _________________________________________ "Angling is extremely time consuming.

As the vacuum increases, it's harder to get the PG out, but it takes a while for that to happen.

RodMaker Volume 15 #1 has the details, or you can just do a search on this forum. It's been covered here many times (without the photos).
Others keep it in the fridge, etc. Anything to keep moist air away from it. .................. Re: 1/4 pint paint can

Another vote for keeping it in the fridge. My bottle is ~18months old and still nice an thin. I did put a Testor's cap on rather then the original. Walt Natzke Ripon, CA Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
