Title: Replacement tops for Foundry type paint pots
Post by: Mindenbrush on April 19, 2018, 06:14:40 PM
I am sure that many people that use the flip top paint pots like Foundry, Cote d àrms have had more than a few crack after they have been used a few times.

In the past I have bought complete replacement pots with lids and just used the lids but whilst surfing recently I found the following

They are incredibly cheap and fit the Foundry type paint pots perfectly, the only difference is that they do not have the lip inside the top that Foundry and others have.

They look useful but I would imagine they'll be a bit of a sod to push on  :?

I was just looking at those last week - was going to order some because I really like the scoop/lip.
Pic below does show a scoop inside the lid.

Sold as a complete bottle, but comes with bottle and lid as separate pieces. Lid snaps on then is "opened" by removing thin connector.
