Description
This paint kettle with a capacity of 0.5 litres is designed especially for painting and finishing work that requires precision. The product is made of durable plastic that tolerates the most common paints and solvents. The key feature of the container is its ergonomic handle, which allows a firm grip with one hand, leaving the other hand free for painting. This makes the product an ideal tool for situations where you need to carry the paint kettle with you, such as when climbing a ladder or working in tight spaces.
The container has a practical brush holder by the handle or on the rim of the container. This holder lets you put the brush aside safely during breaks so that it stays clean and does not fall into the paint. The tight lid included in the pack closes the container airtight. Thanks to the lid, the paint stays usable during short breaks or when stored overnight, which reduces the amount of wasted material and speeds up getting back to work. The shape of the container is optimised so that it is easy to clean after use.
The compact size and 0.5 litre capacity of the product are sized to be enough for smaller painting projects, such as painting window sashes, trims or furniture, without the user having to hold a heavy paint tin. The chemical resistance of the material ensures a long life across many projects. The base of the container is flat, which guarantees stability when it is put down on a flat surface for filling or mixing.

Paint kettle instructions for use:
Pour the required amount of paint into the container, but no more than 0.5 litres to avoid spills. Hold the container by the handle with one hand and use the brush with the other. When you take a break, put the brush in its holder so that it does not sink into the paint. For longer breaks or when work is finished, press the lid firmly into place. Make sure the edges of the lid click shut all the way round to stop the paint drying. Clean the container immediately after use by removing excess paint and washing the container with the thinner for the paint used (water or white spirit). Dry the container before the next use.
Warnings:
Always make sure the container is intact before pouring in paint. Although the lid is tight, it is not recommended to carry the container full upside down or with strong swinging because of the risk of leaks. Do not store paints in the container for long periods, as it is intended primarily as a working container. When working on a ladder, make sure you have a firm grip on the handle.
Frequently asked questions (FAQ):
Can solvent-based paints be kept in the container?
Yes, the container is made of plastic that withstands the most common solvents used in paints.
Does the paint stay wet overnight under the lid?
Yes, the tight lid stops air getting into the container, so the paint stays usable during short-term storage, such as overnight.
Does the brush holder fit brushes of all sizes?
The brush holder is designed for the most common cutting-in and varnish brushes, but very wide or thick handles may not fit the holder.
Recycling instructions:
A clean, dry paint kettle can be recycled in plastic collection. If dried paint that cannot be removed is stuck in the container, it should be disposed of as mixed waste. Wet paint must be taken to a hazardous waste collection point.
