FAQs
Are these kettles airtight?
No, these kettles do not have lids and are designed for active use rather than long-term storage.
Can I use these with lacquer or aggressive solvents?
They are compatible with standard trade solvents, but it is recommended to test on a small scale if using highly aggressive industrial chemicals.
How many kettles come in a pack?
Each set includes 5 individual 1L plastic paint kettles.
Are they dishwasher safe?
It is not recommended to clean these in a dishwasher; manual hand-washing is the best way to maintain the integrity of the plastic.
Can they be used to hold tools?
Yes, the sturdy construction makes them excellent for holding small tools, brushes, or rollers while working.
Troubleshooting
Dried paint stuck inside
Soak the kettle in warm soapy water for water-based paints, or the appropriate solvent for oil-based paints, then use a plastic scraper to remove the residue.
Handle feeling loose
Inspect the connection points to ensure no debris is stuck in the hinge; usually, the metal handle can be gently tensioned back into place if it becomes slightly misaligned.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
No assembly is required; the kettles are ready to use immediately upon unboxing. These vessels are compatible with standard water-based emulsions and typical solvent-based coatings. To maintain the life of the kettles, clean them immediately after use while the paint is still wet using appropriate thinners or water. Avoid using harsh abrasive metal scourers, which could scratch the plastic surface and make future cleaning more difficult. Store in a cool, dry place when not in use, nested together to conserve space.
