Masterson Artist Palette Seal, 12in x 16in Airtight Palette Container, Keeps Wet Paint Fresh for Weeks, Oil or Acrylic Painting Palette with Lid, Seal, Blue Lid Box, Made in USA

Opening instructions were inside the palette holder, so not super useful. It is hard to open so it must have a good seal!

This Palette Seal container is the perfect size container for storing my oil paints while working. I use 12x16 disposable palette paper sheets and these sheets fit perfectly in this container. It may be a few days in between painting sessions and this will keep my paints from drying out. You can even put this in the freezer to keep your paints workable even longer. Great product!

Durable, easy to use, keeps the oil paint moist and in usable condition for 3 to 4 weeks. Versatile enough to hold small to large palette. Good value for money. Works as advertised.

Maybe it delays drying by a little bit, maybe the paint might last until the next day. But for the super fast drying paints like Prussian blue, they're still dry the next day, even after totally sealing the container all around the edges according to the instructions given. I feel that the seal is tight, but there's enough air still on the inside after it's sealed that it still dries out the paint regardless. If it makes a difference, I use paper palettes rather than the glass one that some people use, so maybe paper takes up less space leaving more room for air to still be inside. It might be good to save paint if you have to go to bed and want it to still be wet the next morning, but after 2-3 days, the paints (other than the slow drying ones like yellow) will still be drying up as if you just left them out normally. I was really hoping for something where I could paint, take a break for 2-3 days, and come back with the paint still usable, but this is not the case. Also, sealing the container tightly is a pain (literally very painful on the hands to press on the lid hard enough to properly seal it going around every inch of the edge) and it makes so little of a difference in drying speed that at this point, I don't even seal the lid and it's just a nice palette holder. It's still good as a palette holder and nicely fits a 12x16 inch palette, it does slow drying somewhat, but it did not slow drying nearly as much as I had hoped.

This is so very useful when saving paint on your palette. Used for oils and with the sealing lid, it keeps paints from drying out between painting. The lid is somewhat flexible but it is supposedly needed for proper sealing. Time will tell but good so far.

I hate this thing. I was taking an advanced oil painting class and the teacher wanted everyone to get this box since it was a multiple day class and we were leaving the paints there overnight so I ordered it. I followed instructions and even marked my left corner as indicated. It was a little difficult to close but no big deal. Day 1 of class … Neither the teacher nor me could get the top on at the end of the day. The sides just won’t line up and pop on. Of course, I marked the left corner and it also has some paint on the side so I cannot return it. A total waste of money! And something I thought I could use for years gets to pollute the landfills. Disgusted by the poor quality.

Love this, had one before and love this very much.

I want to love this as the idea is genius and it’s a perfect size, but the lid is sometimes impossible to get on and if it’s not completely sealed it kind of defeats the purpose. Works and looks like the pic but there is room for improvement.
