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.
