Something like a wine box?

problem is that paint separates, so it needs to be something with a solid
bottom and room to get a stirrer in. What about a tough plastic bag
inside
a tin?, you could then seal the bag in close proximity to the surface of
the
paint and undo it for stirring and use.


What about paint in a bag, without a tin? Tough blood-bag style pouch
that could be kneaded to mix, and a strong plastic screw-top like a coke
bottle.


That's far, far too efficient, Z. There'll be none of that!
