What is the best way to store water based polyurathane?  I love the stuff for coating my arrow cresting, but it always rusts the lip of the lid in between uses.  It doesn't take much to coat arrows, so I end up wasting a lot of it when the container gets too bad to keep.  Can it be stored in plastic tupperware type containers?

My big Dipper has had water based poly in it for a couple of years and I used some not long ago and it worked fine. Keep it sealed in a air tight container and you should be OK.

just any old glass jar with screw on lid

Whip,   You can get the all plastic paint pales at a paint store...They are now making all plastic lids and paint containers just because of Latex type paints and finishs and even the rim of some...I have noticed on several containers of latex I purchace at our local paint supply store that some latex paints come this way now....I'm not sure if Lowe's have any...That's one drawback I dislike about Latex paint containers...In The mean time try to keep the lid as clean as possible and in a Temp. controlled room where it doesn't get to cold cause that stuff forms condisation...You can save a water bottle that is all plastic and store under a kitchen cabinet and mark what's in it and keep a lock on the cabinet doors if you have little skeater bugs crawling around..."skeater Bugs" = Kids...God Bless, Keefer's <")))><

That's kind of what I thought, but figured I would ask first before finding out the stuff reacts with plastic somehow and I ended up with a mess.  
I just stole a piece of the wife's tupperware - she has so much she'll never miss it!    
Shhhh!!!
Thanks!

Don't leave it in the frig...She might think it's that  1% milk and then you would be in a heap of trouble and then she'll ground you from your Elk Hunt...Taking the wife's tupperware without asking =  :mad:        

I've had a quart in a recycled peanut butter jar (plastic) for a couple of years now and it's still good   .

i use the fairly new min-wax water based polyU, comes in a polyethylene bottle - no stink, no rust, no muss, no fuss.    :D

Whip,  There you go Rob saved your lower half now get that tupperware container back in the cabinet before she finds out you took it...Women are known to have a six sence you know...   :eek:

Put the lid on the can good and tight and store the can upside down.been doing that for yrs. and it works.
