What is a good way to preserve acrylic paint in a tupperware container?

Question

I have a bunch of extra paint that I can't get back in the bottle, it is in a tupperware container. Is it bad to refrigerate it, or should i just seal it and leave it out?

Answer 1

Wet a paper towel and put the paint on that then seal it in the tupperware. It's a good idea to keep the paint on a wet paper towel so it doesn't dry to fast on you while your painting. You can refrigerate it.

Answer 2

It'll dry up due to the large amount of air already in the container after you've sealed it. You'll have to toss it out, it'll be dry within a week or two.

Answer 3

you can leave in container for tomorrow, would be wise to add damp sponge or watered down cloth/ paper towel to help keep moist, may not be ok to place in fridge, if too cold may cause crystallization (freezer burn), and render paint with spackle specks,

Answer 4

It maybe too late but for future reference. Cover pain with cellophane to surface of paint in bowl to reduce "skinning" peel off the next day or two and contiue painting.
