The other day I was feverishly finishing up some work on a project when, as I reached for a brush, my hand swept across the table and tipped over an open bottle of Nuln Oil...
A couple of things: 1) try to keep your paint pot lids closed. B) move the paint pot far enough away that it is not in danger of tipping over. Γ) Find a way to secure it tipping over if you need to keep the lid open and close enough for you to work with.
Answer? Slip the paint pot into a handy base that, at the very least, reduces the chances of paint pots from tipping over and prove over and over that - 1:3, M = r x F, M = F x d, F = A x P x Cd, and the many different and wonderful expressions mathematics has to show that (T) tipping = (F) Frustration + (E) Expletive x (t) Time to clean up x Replace lost paint.
Fast and easy to print as many or as few as you like.
