As long as the paint does not attack the plastic of the bottle or go brittle
with cold if left in an unheated garage for a couple of years. Its usually
the tops that split.

The usual way of storing partially-used paint tins is to turn them
upside-down, so that the skin that invariably forms is at the bottom of
the paint when next you use it.

Although not original, I've realised that the flexible translucent plastic
milk bottles (typically 1 and 2 pint sizes) make pretty good containers
for the unused paint. After decanting the paint, just carefully squeeze
the bottle until the paint level reaches right up to the rim of the neck,
and screw the top on (tightly). That way all air is excluded, and a skin
is prevented from forming. [And don't forget to label the bottle!]

Anyone see any problems?
