I am curious if the green earth one is usable as well. I know earth tones dry very fast, but if something dries out in the tube it is probably related to the integrity of the cap. I have had some that leak oil from the bottle despite the cap being screwed on tightly.
I couldn't even get that one open even with the hot water thing, so then I kinda just gave up. Didn't want to rip the aluminum and then just have paint everywhere.
@@CallyKariShokka If you boil some water then submerge the tube in it for 15 or 20 minitues that should get any cap off, or so they say. I have never had to do more than run hot water from the tap over it, so I haven't tried it. Is the tube still soft?
@@pjjmsn Yeah, the hot water did not budge the cap off that one. The tube IS still soft, but this isn't the first time I've had a cap become stubborn even with hot water, and I'm not invested enough in the paint to work it too hard. 😅
@@CallyKariShokka Yes its a pain in the butt. But if and when the inkling strikes you, just boil all the stubborn ones together in a pot and they will all come off.
@@CallyKariShokka BTW, if that is genuine green earth and not synthetic then it might be a rare pigment. I remember hearing somewhere that all the green ochres have already been dug out of the ground.
I love seeing vintage paints. I live in Europe and I havem't seen much listed over here.
Liked. Subscribed. Moar Polar, please. 😁
LINSEED OIL WILL SOFTEN UP THE PAINT
