Always that moment of indecision. Is this clogged or not?
Oh, it’s clogged!

Feel free to share your thoughts. Do you clear the bore with a paper clip every time you plan to squeeze out a drop or two?

Pretty epic.

I've only found Reaper bottles consistently problematic, and the only ones that invariably come pre-clogged when bought.

This was Army Painter. Resistance felt like any other time until Heinz ketchup incident number 5. Guess I will be clearing them out before use

Are they too cold? Or drying out a bit? I rarely have issues with them myself just keeping them shaken and use paper after I put paint out.
There is a lot that can effect the paint sadly so it can be weird it some places.

Bright side? Looks like the streak missed the more important things. Like already painted models.

The best thing I've found to clear a clog is a Turkey Lacer. They're the right size to fit in the nozzle and long enough that you won't lose your grip on the lacer.

True. Blessings on me!

Excellent idea!

Never had it this bad, but my Vallejo Hammered Copper usually doesn't want to stop coming out (and it is a color with a very good coverage, so you never need that much...)

Also some of the "contrast" style colors shoot out like crazy.

This is why I actually prefer not-dropper bottles, but it seems more and more producers stick to them instead of finally producing proper paint bottles. I thought I'd found the perfect paint cups for my needs in P3 and now I've seen they switched to dropper bottles as well, hmpf.

Dropper bottles are great. I almost always transfer my citadel shades to dropper bottles. Contrasts stay in the pots, though.
