Are the lids airtight so leftover paint can reused? After watching a video review of a diff. brand, the lids came easily causing paint to dry out.

I have not had any trouble with reusing the paints in the contacts and I always leave it between uses. The only area that dries out is in the lid itself

They are completely air tight. My daughter has had paint in the cups since December 23rd and the paint hasn't dried up yet

I use my paint cups in a classroom and have had no trouble with paint drying out. I only cover the cups during the weekend and holidays when there is no school. I am not sure about long term storage, but I would not store paint in the cups as a permanent storage because they are not meant for that use.

I got two, and I feel they do become airtight if all air is taken out first, by that I mean fill complete to over fill. I use them all the time, I will if I need to buy again.

I haven't had any problems with my set of paints... I just give them a little stir. Maybe you got a bad batch?

None of our products use lids. The fluid is stored in the collection bag which has anti-re flux properties. So it will store fine until you can empty it. Thank youLarry

THEY ARE NOT AIRTIGHT!!!!Good for crafts or buttons I guess?The plastic seal between the metal cap and the jar is not designed to be airtight seal.

Yes, the lids seal up nicely. I just tried it out to confirm and water doesn't drip out while holding it sideways or upside down. The lids seal it up tight and no spills.

Yes Lori, they are sealed airtight. Sometimes they can be difficult to open, but have always succeeded. They stay fresh for a while, but they never last too long around my house. They are delicious!

Matthew,So far the seals haven't let moisture in and kept my spices fresh.I guess the answer would be no the seals haven't come off when I opened my jars and seals are tight enough to keep spices moisture free. The only problem I had was that one of the jars was crushed/broken when I recieved them. Otherwise they're very nice and do the job. ♥

Yes I can remove the lid, if I pull on it even a little, after the middle button is pushed down. I was able to do this pretty much immediately, so it's not that the product is old or faulty. They don't seal 100%. They close pretty well but they are not airtight at all. I live in Hawaii, and was concerned about bugs and humidity. The good part is that bugs (esp ants) haven't gotten in yet, after two years. But the bad part is that the humidity has gotten in. So most of the stuff I keep is in a plastic bag inside of the container. Pretty lame, considering the price, but they stack well and aren't ugly.

No, the lid does not touch the food. There is a plastic insert on the underside of the lid that fits into the top of the glass canister that creates a somewhat airtight seal. Unfortunately, the paint can chip off the lid and end up in your canister though. Other than that, I really like the canisters and have 4 of them which I use on a regular basis.

These are very good a storing dry goods. Since the lids are watertight they hold in the product's freshness very well. As will any dry goods though, make sure that you eliminate as much oxygen as possible. Adding oxygen absorbers and/or flushing the container with nitrogen is recommended.

Hello!These really do not expire or dry out if you keep the lid very tight. We recommend storing them in a cool dark place such as a pantry. Do not let it freeze or get extremely hot as it can break down the ingredients. They will last a very long time!Hope that helps

They are not airtight. Water will not get in. There is no seal, but the lid overlaps the side by 2 inches. The lid also fits very snug. I have used these for about 5 years now. They are very well made (good materials, heavy duty) hold up to lots of abuse and have a lot of space. I put gear I want to keep dry and safe in it and put it in the bed of my truck. I have traveled many thousand miles with these in my truck bed and never had any issues with water leakage no matter what the weather brings.

Yes, lids come off easily. My only complaint is that the letters fade out real quick.

It has a regular lid for a jar which is airtight. I have not repackaged mine and have had previous jars this size open for very long periods of time. It lasts just fine.

Yes. However, water will get inside the lids. You'll have to really shake them and let the water dry out.

So far they seem air tight and spill proof but my concern is over time and with the heat from the dishwasher can they sustain their durability (the lids in particular). By the way, one of the lids was broken.
