Hey gang... I'd posted up the comment below on a different thread and thought it might be a useful tool to have a central discussion on fiasco's that you've run into with powder paints and how you overcome them.

(If a post like this already exists please nip this one in the butt!)


I had bought some powder paint from Bass Pro Shops (watermelon flake) once.... Got home and opened it up and it should have been named Funky Chunky!!!! Talk about boulders of paint 'rocks'!! I tried everything.... crushing it, smashing it, cursing it ... but each time I'd put it back into the bottle it would just clump right up again!! Finally had it sent back to BPS and got it replaced. Now I'm sure to open up the bottle to make sure it's nice and fine! But by all means... keep it away from moisture!!

so what problems have you had and how did you overcome them?
