Masterson Artist Palette Seal 16X12, Acrylic, White, Basic Pack

Surprisingly good piece of kit. Hesitated to buy this, as it felt quite expensive for just a box. I always have paint on my palette, so that I’m ready to go any time. This made a big difference to the air quality in my studio (and I use water based oil paints) and keeps even thin piles of paint fresh overnight. And probably longer. So with just the box I get more use out of my paint. Happy with it!

I had always used the Daler Rowney Stay Wet pallet for both acrylics then alkyd oils, but while it worked in keeping them wet for longer, the quality of the plastic was brittle and prone to crack after a while. Also ridiculously expensive for a couple of pieces of moulded plastic! So thought I'd try this. Cheaper than the Stay - Wet even coming from USA, I've been delighted so far with it. I line it with household grease proof paper and squeeze out my alkyds on that. Even after three days the alkyds were usable if slightly tacky. Now if I'm going to be leaving them for more than a day I spray lightly with low odour solvent and the paints stay wet. As someone else has said, you need to go right round each side, pressing down to ensure a good seal, but it works well. Really pleased!

My glass palette fits into this box perfectly. The lid is a bit stiff at first but it will become more flexible in time. It seals well if you follow the fitting instructions . I was using cling film to cover my palette which was messy. This is a bit pricey but it's well made and sturdy.

A nice sized stay wet palette...if a bit pricey. The sponge refill is useful but I will probably use Baking Parchment for the membrane - I can get a 70 metre roll for a few pounds; and the size is basically the same width as the ones supplied for the Masterson Palette (The membrane papers supplied for the Palette are also fairly pricey). Also it is possible to get both white and brown Baking Parchment which will help in judging the colour/tone of the paint when mixing. I have heard that some peoples stay wet palettes produce condensation when closed for a period of time and have recommended leaving the lid slightly open to allow air to circulate - what I might do is drill a hole in the lid to allow air to circulate and use an ear plug to block the hole when complete closure is required. Hope that helps.

Excellent product, the lid is a very tight seal keeping the paint in a useable condition for several days.

On delivery I struggled to open this and needed to turn and pull at corners with all of my might. It looks perfectly capable of keeping your paint moist between painting sessions, but it could be in quite a mess after struggling to open the box. When I attempted to close the box it was even more difficult as you have to match the corners and press down extremely hard to seal corners and then wrestle to close all edges around all four sides. I dread to think what condition the paint within would be as you need to fight to open it again to use the moist paint. I don't have the strongest hands in the world but they are not the weakest either. It was an expensive purchase as I don't se me getting much use.

This does the job well. So far paint has remained wet after a few days. Basic pack doesn’t include the sponge or sheets for acrylics. Some people complain about the lid but this works very well - just follow the instructions provided and you’ll not have any problems

I bought this product on the recommendation of a friend to extend the life of my oil paints while carrying out a painting. Luckily my glass palette just fits into the base , and although you have to make sure all four corners of the lid are clipped on properly to exclude air, it keeps the paints fresh for several days. No more struggling with cling film! The package arrived promptly, despite being imported from the USA, and is worth the cost.

Great size, seals very tight. Keeps oils paints fresh for much longer. Excellent addition to my equipment. Recommend getting the paper palette sheets with it as well.

Ik bewaar mijn olieverfpalet in deze doos. Zodoende kan ik mijn olieverf langer bewaren. Bespaart olieverf en het milieu. Ben er blij mee.

Boîte pour palette de peinture à l'huile. Elle est parfaitement étanche à l'air, pour cela bien suivre la consigne. En y rajoutant la plaque en vert trempé pour le mélange des peintures on peut garder celles-ci plusieurs semaines. En plus elle est très facile à nettoyer. Très belle qualité. Au départ je l'ai trouvé un peu grande mais après usage elle est parfaite.

This is huge, and well worth the money. I would totally recommend it to any painter out there trying to keep their paints lasting extra time.

Tuper "muy eficaz" para guardar la paleta, hermètica. Para mi muy útil. Aunque el precio creo que es excesivo, por eso no lo doy 5 estrellas.
