NOTE: A few ppl made the immediate good point you could also use plasticine, blue tac to wrap around the base of the pot – an easy reusable solution with …
I was doing some script tonight, and saw something that made me want to just thrash this out. Won't be for everyone but no doubt some will find it useful. Just when it comes to painting and modelling I don't like buying things I can make for myself in 5 minutes lol I will never buy a wet palette. Why anyone would pay 10x the money for what is essentially an unsealed plastic box is beyond me. Anyway. Hope this helps some ppl.
get a block of wood, sand it down, bevel the edges, and drill holes large enough for your pots to sit in, add putty or blutac as an adhesive, and finally you can opt in to bolt the block to your work bench or leave it as a free standing mobile unit.
i will take you up on this one, i spill more washes than i put on miniatures – however, the money saving wet pallet out of tupaware is a step too far, mine was a tenner and just to be able to put the lid on and stow it away is well worth it, gimme your address and will send you one for xmas!
i started this video while working on my army i was thinking to my self i have never knocked my wash or paints over get to the end of the video reach for pause accidentally knock my wash across my desk
I love the encouragement to just simply think outside the box here. I've tipped over a decent number of pots in my life that had caused me to lose a lot of shades and contrast. Never again!
When i use gw wash i dip the brush and then just close the pot. But i almost never slap on alot of it, and if i do i place it on a palette then again close the lid. But this is a very good, cheap and simple solution for people who wants quick and easy access to it! 🙂

What a great tip I’ve made a right mess tipping them bottles over by accident before

My solution to prevent pots topping over is to be careful with what I have around me. 100% success rate.
theres so much god damn sand where i live i could get that much giving my kitchen a sweep on cleaning day
in the grim darkness of the far future, there is only helpful craft tips
I prefer army painter.
Far better price.
Far better bottle
Or here's a bright idea.
Buy from a less rubbish company.
I have little blobs of sticky tack under each of my wash bottles, works like a charm and cheap as borscht
My solution to the problem is to just not use over priced, shitty GW washes lol.
I use lego, also fan of not buying stuff. Everyone has lego
I just dumped my agrax earthshade like 3 days ago thanks for the video
Nice one! I made something similar by cutting a hole in a plastic card, that goes around it. Sadly, it was after I spilled my nuln oil..
Sad to see that Luetin is in the pocket of the sponge industry. How can we trust him going foward?
could always put a bit of water in a balloon and blow some air in it as well, would bring it back upright if it did tip.
Just tack it to the table with some blutac putty stuff
i could use this with the Testors paint thinner bottles, i have shied away from enamel paints because i keep dumping the thinner….

My cheat is just glue a bulk common Magic the Gathering card to the base. Super super lazy mode
I like to keep eye drop bottles and clean them out. I'll then carefully mix the pot and pour some into the droplet bottle.

I just use poster putty to stick the pot to the desk.
Could put in some ball bearings or marbles in the bottom for some weight.
Right… now i KNOW that C.E.R.N is having an effect on our reality….
The videos are done when they’re done mate. Don’t rush it. Don’t feel rushed.
Cutting the tops off helps.
well… at least I'm not the only one! I did a heavier larger one after knocking the paint over…. for the third time🤣
Sticky tack on the bottom of your paints also helps and reduces clutter in your work area.
This is great, the times I have spilt my agrax earth shade (liquid gold) lost count, well ive had to buy 6 naw so yes very helpful!
A moment of silence for all those fallen wash and contrast pots….

Is it weird that I find these DIY vids almost as interesting as the lore vids?
I’ve spilt two pots of Black Templar in the last month…
Cheap grinding discs work as well. A 3-4 inch one and glue the pot on.
Tape the bottle to the desk. Flextape ftw
