Yep, I keep them in a cupboard which is usually cool. They were all closed as well. Hmm...

I went back to painting after a few months tonight only to discover that all of my washes have evaporated! Is this a common problem with washes or is are these GW washes just pish? |

GW caps are notoriously leaky. In fact I take theirs and put them immediately into a dropper style (Reaper) bottle for that exact reason. |

I'm switching over to the Army Painter washes. They are in dropper bottles and seem to be the origional GW washes with new names. |

With gw I'm sure it's deliberate - that way they can keep selling it back to you. I'm never buying gw again because of the bottles. As above, I have good experience with army painter, though last time in my flgs I got convinced to try Secret Weapon by one of the top painters in the area who reckons they flow better. Only used it once but happy so far. |

The caps aren't great. I've had some issue with them. One problem is that it's very hard to know when they are actually properly closed. The other is that a cupboard won't help. The wood absorbs moisture. If you want to keep them in the GW cap you'll probably need a small tupperware container that is fully sealed when not in use. Also your cupboard was probably the old "store in a cool dry place" deal. That's actually not good for the leaky lids, as the "dry" part just makes it go faster. I found that one of my washes dissipated really fast, but most of the others have been fairly ok. |

I bought dropper bottles from evil bay and put all my GW paints and washes to them. No leaking or drying anymore |
