Tip: Lean the paint pots, avoid messy spills

To avoid messy spills, when I open a pot to lock the lid in place, I tip it forward to make the paint drop into the pot, instead of outside the rim of the pot. This is especially common with the new paint pots from Games Workshop, such as the Foundation Paints, when you open them all the way.

Similarly, I always lean the open paint pot on a brush when I'm painting, to keep the paint inside the pot.
