a. Add a drop of distilled water occasionally to the pot and mix

b. Store the pots upside down on occasion

Can someone either confirm/deny or "add to" this list? Possibly even point me in a direction where there is more info.

Keeping the rim clean so that the tops can seal will go a long way to help keeping your paints from drying out.

Adding a medium such as water can help.

Personally the best thing i did was moved all of the paints from pots over to dropper bottles. It cost me about $0.15 per and I haven't regretted it. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/508303/5297358.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/508303/5297358.page GMT GW has possibly fixed.

A little while ago, I decided to try the new GW paintline and picked up several. I was really annoyed that when you opened the pots, they didn't even click to stay open. What an annoyance to me.

Anyway, I was caught short and grabbed several of these pots again recently at my local store. The store owner had purchased one of the new 200+ paint sets to restock.

What a change! The lids click open and the strap that connects the lid to the bottle is slightly longer then it was. When you remove the lid it almost feels like a cork your pulling out/pushing in. You really need to click the front and back of the lid in to close it. It feels really secure. What a change!

Personally, I just add a few drops of water (plain old tap water - unless you have very hard water and add a significant amount, it's not going to mess with your paints) every now and again, if the contents of a pot are thickening noticeably. This is simply to keep it from gelling, as I use a (wet) palette and thin to the task at hand while painting. Thinning an entire pot is very limiting, if not outright wasteful (should you muck things up) - best to leave it as an emergency measure, not a standard practice.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/508303/5298357.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/508303/5298357.page GMT
