Hi
I've bought some of the bigger bottles of Vallejo black primer and satin varnish. What I want to do though is use them to fill some smaller dropper bottles to store and use in my paint rack.

Will transferring some of the paint to different bottles cause the paint to prematurely dry out in the bottle?

Thanks!

I have a few vallejo paint mixes stored in very small droppers, if they are sealed properly they should be fine.

You might want to test it out with a small amount if your not sure.

Kind regards
Steven

Cheers Steven, I'll 1/4 fill the bottle (20ml bottles) and see how it goes. I only get a chance to paint every few weeks so even that 1/4 will last a while and I'll be able to test it.
