Masterson Artist Palette Seal, 12in x 16in Airtight Palette Container, Keeps Wet Paint Fresh for Weeks, Oil or Acrylic Painting Palette with Lid, Seal, Blue Lid Box, Made in USA

I bought this variation on the Masterson Sta-Wet palette product line, as the one I had before, did not work well after awhile. It was more for watercolor or oil, I'm thinking.This particular palette states very clearly in the instructions that if you are keeping acrylic paints, it is recommended that you use their sponge and paper for acrylic. I did not heed that recommendation.All I have to say is WOW! I kept several colors locked up tight in this palette(Purchased 27 May 2025) and opened it today, 20 June 2025. All of the paints were still wet and workable. The mixed areas were dry, but that happens no matter what you do. I am SOLD.I would advise that you make sure to snap the lid tightly. When you think you have it, press lightly in the middle. If you hear air whistling, you need to push it down all the way around.Couldn't be happier with this product.

This is exactly what you need to preserve your paint! Also putting paint in the freezer helps stay wet even longer.

My original rating was a mistake. I am VERY pleased with the Stay-Wet pallette. It is easy to use and keeps my paints fresh for 2 weeks. It's easy to clean and set up for your next painting session. I love the design and I have plenty of room to mix colors. The paper is strong enough to handle mixing with a paint spatula as well. I absolutely love this product and it wasn't overpriced.

I was surprised at how long it was able to keep my paints fresh. Highly recomended

I have worn out two of these. I love them. Keeps oil paint moist for days

This works perfectly for my glass palette which measures precisely 16” x 20”. It actually has just a little wiggle room from side to side, so the inner dimensions are a tad bigger than advertised. I made a little pull that I can lift it up with by using a little electrical tape stuck on the back.The lid is very airtight. I store it in the fridge and my paint blobs and smears stay soft and useable for at least a couple days (longest I’ve gone so far).Lid is very easy to put on and take off, as long as you follow the included directions. Ironically, the instructions are held captive inside the box……so how does one easily open it?? Pop up the four corners first, then the sides will easily release. I don’t know about you, but I usually tend to release one corner then try to pull it off, and it usually works, but not so well with this box. Uss the four-corners-first method for this one!Also just so you know it says not to store it in the freezer because it can become brittle and lead to cracking. I store it in the fridge and it works well.Thanks for reading my review…I hope it helps you

Was pleased with this product purchased 2 months ago. Followed all instructions and suggestions provided but product failed none the less.Now the corner of the lid has cracked. So, now it is not air tight, which pretty much renders it useless for the purpose it was intended.Now its past deadline for return.

I was so excited and I paid for the sponges the paper and this container that was a lot of money to find out that I still have to put something heavy on top of the lid.And yes, the paint was drying out, even though I’m putting weight All around the edges of this product.Please note it shows up sealed, but once you take that lid off it no longer works properly
