The way to avoid skinning is to prevent the paint from coming into contact with air. If the lid has been opened for use, the first thing to do is to remove any primer remaining on the edges and grooves of the container, making sure the edges of the lid are also clean. Then do the following: 1. Close the lid and make sure it is completely tight (small holes will allow air to enter the jar, changing the air pressure inside and accelerating the formation of crust. ) and store the container upside down. Or 2. Carefully place a piece of clean round plastic paper over the paint inside the can, then close the lid tightly and store the container upright.
