Paint advice.

[Magic Rat]

Hi folks had a delivery of paint today.
Out of the 8 bags 4 had broken paint in them,spoke to the shop and was advised to clean with paper towels.
One hour and 2000 balls later it seems clean.
So will this paint swell now that its been wet,what's the best way to store it now .
Have I just wasted £40 or will it be OK?

It should be ok but it might be a bit wingy when you come to shoot it though. Try and keep it at a constant temp and dry.

Use them as soon as you can, best avoid buying paint for delivery where possible. Try to buy an extra box if you are at a walk on day, you can inspect it then and even better you'll know how it shoots. Paint can vary from batch to batch.

It seems like a stupid question but why buy it to risk shipping damage and storage issues when you can buy from which ever walkon your playing?

It's a Christmas game with Swansea Dragunz ,not at a pay site.
Also I have three new( second hand) markers that need setting up/practice with.
I have only played pay and go before so didn't have paint,sons getting marker for Christmas he will want to practice with it before game.
I have a couple of acres of land to practice in,so no worries on that front.

Ah right that makes more sense, when I started, I jumped the gun and ordered paint not realising it had a shelf life depending on the storage conditions.
If any of your local sites host walkons you can buy direct from them for a reasonable price so your able to check the bags for paint breaks before taking paint home etc.
