Testing out the METAL TINS I got from TEMU! - Review! 🎨

1:09 You still have a duck haunting. I would’ve thought geese would be doing the haunting 😂.

11:49 You can use ox gall. Schmincke themselves suggested that. Just paint a thin layer on your palette then wipe it off with tissue paper. I can’t remeber whether you have to leave the ox gall to dry before wiping off.

i love your reviews because of how thorough and informative you are. I personally don't use those watercolour tins, mainly because of the rust. and since I like individual tubes and or pans.

Thank you! I'd love to know if there's a way to make the same model of palette but in a metal that wouldn't rust... (And how affordable that would be, haha!)

[@ChantelleArts]

this is a great review! 🥰

[@EveBolt]

Thank you! 🤗

Apply WD40 to the rust let it sit then use a Q-Tip to remove the rust from the Metal box.

[@EveBolt]

Oh wow! Good to know, thank you! :D I'll definitely keep this in mind!

I actually just took my metal tin to paint the other day after a long time and it happened exactly what you said, it started to rust and some pans were filthy, I tried to clean it but it was hard to clean the pans where the rust stained them, I was so sad... now I am trying to decide another solution to put all my watercolors

[@EveBolt]

Yes! Exactly! I can't stand when that happens! Especially when the rust spreads to the paints, it's heart-breaking :(

I have never seen any rusting on mine, and I am not sure if this contributes, but I tend to clean my palette between each painting, I don't spray my colors down to activate them (I have professional watercolors and let's be real they activate quickly - if I need more of one color or it's like a primatek or potters pink, I drop some water in those pans specifically), I don't cross contaminate so water doesn't have a chance to drip all over and in between, and I leave the palette open to dry. I really think a lot of it (but not all of it) is water management.

I treat my metal palette the same way and have not noticed any issues with rust, either.

[@lesleyegbert4807]

One way I've gotten around the beading in the mixing wells is to lightly abrade the surface with a melamine sponge. Might not be the best way for folks who paint a lot, but for a casual, occasional watercolorist like myself, it works OK.

temu uses Forced Labor, just fyi

[@Kirishin]

Temu is known for mistreatment of their workers and they are suspected of using child labor. Not to mention that they too have stolen designs from small businesses, and their products might not meet quality standards and I don't mean only that the products don't last or are poor quality but that they also might use materials that are deemed not safe. I understand that for some cheap products are the only option, I have also been in that situation many times, but I implore all that want to buy anything from Temu to reconsider.
