Author Notes[]
| “ | My eternal problem is that I can never open the tubes for my favorite paints. The lids are smaller than other lids, and there are no indents, so they're slippery. If I use pliers, it twists the whole top off, so I thought I'd buy a vise... but now that I've gotten to this point, I'm rethinking my own methods of how I use it. Maybe I just need to wipe off the mouth of the tube? | ” |
