Oilbrushers Holder

A stand for oil sticks

This holder from the range of the brand GAS HANS is intended for putting down oil sticks, that is bottles that have the brush built straight into the cap. It belongs to the group of organizers for the modeling desk, and its only task is to keep the bottles upright and in one place, so that they do not roll about among work in progress.

Why it helps on the desk

Oil shades are used drop by drop and in quick succession during weathering, so the bottles are opened and closed often. When they lie on their side among the tools, the paint runs into the thread and the cap with the brush is hard to tighten. Stood neck upward they stay clean, and you know the shade at first glance from the label. The time saved hunting for a particular color tells during work with oil, because a patch that has been laid on has to be blended before it goes tacky.

How to make use of the stand

• line the oil sticks up by the shades you are working with on one model
• keep the light tones for highlighting apart from the dark ones for accentuating shadows
• place the holder within reach of your working hand but out of the space for the model
• when the work is done, wipe the necks of the bottles so that they seal tightly

Who the organizer is suitable for

It will be appreciated by anyone who weathers with oils regularly and has more than a few shades at home. It also suits a shared workshop, where the worktop fills up quickly and every free area is precious. It makes the same sense in a transport box, where it will stop the bottles rolling about.

Neither paints nor tools are part of the delivery; this is the holder alone.
