ob sealing cans:
I always store them upside down. Any paint that tries to seep out
dries and seals the lid completely. They will keep for *years*.

I don't do this with jars as the odd one will leak quite a bit. Which proves
that they aren't sealing properly and the paint would have gone off
anyway. Fortunately, all the paint I have in jars is of the physically
drying type - just add thinners and away we go.
