A helpful acrylic painting tip submitted by a fellow artist.

Acrylic medium can harden quickly around bottles and become very difficult to open after this happens. If you rub some pertroleum jelly around the lid of the bottle when it's new, you'll find it opens much easier the next time you use it.
Tip from: Gail Laurant.
