SG is measured in weight, not volume. Confusing as tha little bottle isn't half a glassful of liquid.

20grams = 4oz.

GW's is 1oz for $6.

I know which one ill buy.

Transparent lids = cheating!

Pft.

Everyone knows the proper organizational methods for paint is taste.

Hmmm.... I've used GW's paints since I started, still stick with them. I'm considering looking into Vallejo as I've heard good things about the consistency for blending.

The new pots.... I like the color coding but I'm not too sure about the rounded design, I find that when I open the rounded foundation pots the paint seeps out onto the back of the pot.

Also, the hexagonal ones are easier to store as they stack on top of each other relatively well. All in all, I think they are my only gripes, nothing major, I don't really mind too much, I'll just continue to use them

Just got to have a proper look at them today- seems actually there has been an improvement on the "drip" problem of the foundation paints- Nice firm closing on 'em and same amount of paint as before.

Immediately looked at them and pondered what will happen with the empties, because with that transparent lid, if you can get it clean, you can keep track much easier of your mixed colours

My coice of glue is the GF9 one, best glue for metal, resin etc. I encountered in 20 years.

I'll check that out. I rate their 'green stuff' for value and their basing kits.

No,obviously you don't. The GW one is 28.4 grams.

The new Superglue with the brush applicator is a 5g bottle for $6.60. Not sure what bottle you are reading from.

The plastic glue is in a 20g bottle, that much I know.

*groan

forget it....

Perhaps the GW superglue bottle IS 28grams but the only one I can find a pic of is the new brush applicator super glue and that is 5g.

Not to mention I doubt GW's works as good as loctite and why would I buy a 5g bottle for $6.60 when I can buy the Loctite Professional I showed for $5.97 at home depot and it's 4x's the amount of GW SG?

I don't know why you are groaning or what I'm not getting.

Yep, the GW SG is in the smaller bottle, GF9 has a 28,4g and it is definitely bigger.

Meh, I like my current paint pots.

The only thing I like about these new pots is the semi-transparent lid. This will let me find the color I am looking for. But I hate the new pot design since they leak in at the connection point for me.

meh, i've found all superglues work exactly the same for my needs, I tend to go for the zap stuff, that's the thicker kind instead of the watery kind.

I tried GW's and GF9's, didn't notice a difference in glueyness. The brush applicator sounds good for some uses but for me personally I'd rather the tip came to a little point so you could get the glue into tighter spots if you need to.

I like the idea of clear lids for the new paint pots, but that's about it. I still prefer the hex shaped pots. My favorite is the vallejo eye droppers though.

They've changed the connection point though to stop that!

Under normal conditions (central european) the GF9 glue bonds faster than the GW glue.

GW didn't tease a mega paint set of the new pots? Too early I guess, but they did take it away that deal from their website awhile back.

The Mega Paint Set is awesome. Although, I wish they'd give you a couple spray cans though. Give me Black,White and Matte finish instead of the basing stuff. I've got enough of that. Or maybe just the Citadel Spray gun. I don't know.
