Hi guys, I need your opinoin here :-)

I'm about to rebottle some of my Tamiya paints from their glass jars to empty Vallejo plastic bottles with eye-dropper tip.
Can I store Tamiya acryls in plastic bottles? They close air-tight of course.

Thanks

Bye

Tamiya paints are acrylics (water based).
They will not attack plastic. Enamels witch are solvent based can attack some plastics. Most containers for paints are made from polypropalene and are not affected by either acrylic or enamels.
