Do you leave your powder in the fluid bed cup or put it back in the container?
Powder in the cup
- Thread starter Bkabina
- Start date
The paint i keep sitting out (meant to use the next time i paint) is usually keep in the jar with the cap just laying on top to keep the bugs out. Usually get down to paint two or three times a week. If i put it up on the shelf and not sure when i will use it next, always make sure it is closed tight. My paint area (mind you i am in Ohio where there is plenty of flux in temp and humidity) is down in my basement and has some humidity year round but a fairly consistent temp of 55°. Never had an issue that i know of with leaving my powder out with the cap off. I lay the cap over top because i have learned my lesson that there are a ton of rolly polly bugs that end up in my jars if i leave them without any cover.

I leave the powder in the Bed cups but ... seal it with a cap .... all of my cups are stored in a plastic bag inside of a metal container (I think it was a can of cookies but seals real well)
Other containers are sealed as tight as possible ... High humidity in this part of the world will attack and harden it in a hurry.

Not having a dedicated work area I have to clean my stuff up after every use.
