PALETTE GARAGE: Keeps Oil Paints Fresh
- A few drops of clove oil on the end cap wicks slows oxidation of oil paints for weeks at room temperature when paint tray is kept in the air-tight tube
- The eugenol in the clove oil retards formation of “skin” on creamy oil paints
- Clove oil remains in wicks in each end cap, so clove oil never touches the paint
- Strong clove aroma is contained in the tube but your paints will not smell like clove
- 15 ml bottle of clove oil included with purchase will last for many months
- Keep your daubs of paint on paint tray while painting (instead of on the palette surface)
- Supplement with new paint as needed
- Fits along edge of palette box or can be attached elsewhere to your setup
- When finished, store the paint strip with your left-over paint in the “garage”
- No more stingy dabs of paint — be generous as there is no worry of wasting paint
- Easy set-up and clean up of painting projects
- US Patent US930039
