box N paint STORAGE medium (for OIL)
How to Use Your box N paint STORAGE
1. Load your paint:
Fill each compartment with fresh or leftover paint. Keep the paint slightly away from the front edge to ensure a clean seal when closing.
2. Seal it:
Snap the lid firmly into place. On the Medium STORAGE, secure it with the elastic band during transport.
3. Paint anywhere:
Open the STORAGE and place it on your palette or work surface. For extra stability, attach it with magnets or Velcro if desired.
4. Continue painting:
Open the STORAGE whenever you're ready to paint again. Your colors will stay organized and ready to use with virtually no setup.
5. Save your paint:
When you're finished painting, add 2–3 drops of clove oil to the felt strip inside the lid only, never on the plastic, then close the lid. Alternatively, simply close the STORAGE and place it in the freezer until your next painting session to help keep your oil paint fresh.
6. Refresh your palette:
Remove any dried or unusable paint before reloading. Use the included custom scraper with the Medium STORAGE, or a small palette knife with the Small STORAGE.
Tip: A little clove oil goes a long way. Use only 2–3 drops on the felt strip every 2–3 weeks, and always keep clove oil away from children and pets.
No spills. No waste. Just ready-to-use paint, wherever inspiration finds you.
Compatibility: The box N paint STORAGE is designed to fit inside most standard pochade boxes and easels besides box N paint POCHADE medium. Please check dimensions to ensure proper fit. please note: Strada Easel does not recommend the use of clove oil. Use your own discretion when deciding whether to use it. The box is partially manufactured overseas. Minor imperfections may be visible due to the production process.
Using Clove Oil: If you choose to use clove oil to preserve your paint, please use only 2–3 drops inside the felt lining. Avoid applying it to the rest of the box, as it may react with the matte surface and leave a film.
Clove oil should be used with caution—it may have side effects. Keep out of reach of children and pets. Avoid contact with eyes. If pregnant or sensitive, consult a healthcare provider before use.
