Best way to keep paint
I play pump so when I buy a case of paint it lasts me a good month and a bit of play I was just wondering what the best way to keep paint as fresh as possible and relatively dimple free what I do now is press all the air out of the bags and put those little silica packets you get in shoe boxes I steal from kohls lol

Great advice! Never thought about the air in the bag aging the paint faster, but hey ill have to try that one. Also when i have extra paint leftover i just make sure to "rotate" each bag of paint at least 1-2 times a week. By rotate i mean just flip the bag over to a different side than the side that it was previously sitting on, to prevent the paint inside the shell from going solid in one spot or whatever.

Keep the pump hand strong

I think the key is really where you're keeping your paint. A room with lower humidity and as little temperature fluctuation as possible. Coolers with a little foam in them work well.

If I have a bunch of paint I plan to shoot in the near future (as in it wont sit all winter), I fill my pods ~1/3 full, and put those in a box. I put the box on my stairs and rotate it 90* and move it down a stair (usually pushing it with my foot when I get up every morning). This keeps it fresh, un dimpled, and in a dark, temp controlled enviornment.
If I plan to keep it for several months I put 9 balls in a 10 rnd tube, then into the box and on the stairs.

I keep it in a closet and I lay the bags out flat on something cushioned (bed sheets, pillows, suitcase) so none of the balls are on top of each other and then I rotate the bags every couple of days.
