I’ve always reused jars from home for containing my turpenoid and mixing medium. It saves quite a bit of money, especially since I don’t like to clean them out. I just grab another one that I’ve saved on my shelf and throw the other one out.
I saved a Kikkoman soy sauce container and am now using it for my medium. I poured the medium inside, mixed it with a stick, put on the cap, covered the two holes with my fingers and shook it really hard.
It’s really convenient to just pour the medium onto the colors on my palette. It’s less messy and because the holes are small, you have control of how much you want to pour. You can just put a little piece of tape on top if you want to cover the holes. I’ve been using mine for a few days and haven’t had to cover it. But would recommend covering it if you aren’t going to be using it everyday.
