## Overview

The Masterson Artist Palette Seal is a 12in x 16in airtight container made from durable acrylic in the USA, designed to preserve oil and acrylic paints fresh for weeks by slowing oxidation and maintaining moisture. Compatible with various palette materials and the Sta-Wet Premier system, it’s a trusted, lightweight, and portable solution for artists seeking to extend their creative sessions without waste.

## Description

Save paint, time and money using the Masterson Palette Seal. This airtight container safely holds any type of paint palette between sessions. For Oils, place your favorite type of palette – wood, glass, plastic or paper – into the Palette Seal tray and snap on the lid. Your paints will stay fresh for many days-even weeks when they’re sealed in the airtight Masterson Palette Seal. For acrylics and other water-miscible paints, use Masterson’s patented Sta-Wet Premier Acrylic Paper and Sponge (sold separately). The sponge, when moistened and combined with Masterson’s Acrylic Palette Paper, maintains a moist “atmosphere” inside the Artist Palette Seal. You will be ready to continue painting up to weeks later when you store your paints in a patented Masterson storage container. **Please note that a palette is not included in the Artist Palette Seal** Made in the USA of durable yet lightweight injection molded plastic. Measures 1¾"H × 16"W × 12"D (4.5 cm × 40 cm × 30 cm).

Review: Here are the opening instructions - Opening instructions were inside the palette holder, so not super useful. It is hard to open so it must have a good seal!
Review: Perfect size for oil painting palette sheets. - This Palette Seal container is the perfect size container for storing my oil paints while working. I use 12x16 disposable palette paper sheets and these sheets fit perfectly in this container. It may be a few days in between painting sessions and this will keep my paints from drying out. You can even put this in the freezer to keep your paints workable even longer. Great product!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: So can the whole pad of 16"x20" palette paper fit inside palette?**
A: Yes. It will fit.

**Q: Is 12x16 the inside or outside dimension?  I need the inside dimension.**
A: The Masterson Artist Palette Seal has inside dimensions of slightly larger than 12" x 16", so it is intended to hold 12" x 16" palette pads or sheets. You can use the same refill products (acrylic sheets and sponges) as what is recommended to use with the Masterson Premier Palette.

**Q: Amazon doesn't sell the sponges and paper for a reasonable price. Anyone tried paper towel/parchment paper?**
A: I use this pallette for my for acrylic paint but it could work for oil too. I first laid it down plastic vegetable cutting mat (which can be bought on Amazon for relatively little cost) shiny side up. Then I fold up paper towels line along the edges and wet them down which is where I put the paint. I then spray the paint with a spray bottle occasionally and about once or twice a week when not in use, and they usually last fresh for about three to four weeks, but if mildew starts to appear just rip out that particular color replace it. When the paint dries it peals off the plastic cutting boards easily. The only difference for oil is that I would probably keep it in the freezer to keep the Paint fresh and would not spray the paint. This is a modified technique that is taught by Jerry Yarnell who has written several books on acrylic painting.

**Q: Can oil paints be stored directly on plastic for storing?**
A: NO. Either cut a fitted piece of glass (heavy) or several pieces of plexiglass (light but scratches over time) or use the palette paper.  You don't want to take a razor to the plastic surface itself.
