Storing paint...bags or pods?

[Lohman446]

Wow, thats probably better than my method of twisting the bags and putting the opening under them (like when you reseal bread) - then throwing the case on top of the filing cabinet and letting it sit to next week - then again my house is air condtioned so that probably helps.

I always keep it in its original bag, if its open, i put it in a gallon size ziplock freezer bag.

This is same thing I do. Then I'll flip the box with the bags in it once a month.

I just shot a case of Draxus paint that I got at LAST YEAR'S Shattner ball through my E-Mag with no (I'm not lying) breaks.

Of course crappy paint will be even crappier a year later no matter how it is stored.

I have a big 5-gallon plastic jerrycan that I use to store paint. It'd hold, oh I dunno, about 3-4 cases.

The paint at the bottom is at least 2 years old. And it also has about 20+ lbs of weight bearing down on it :)

But the can IS airtight, its a can made to store hazardous liquids in. (My dad stole it from work, brand new. They cost like $100 apiece or something like that).

I thought the paint inside would turn to crap after a while, but even stored in an un-cooled room all summer, the paint comes out in decent shape. I use it to test guns all the time. I prolly have about 8,000 - 10,000 balls in it right now.

This is exactly what I do ... gallon size freezer bags. Keeps paint perfect.
