#How do I stop doing this?

This is the third time I've ruined a piece I spent many hours working on by grabbing the primer instead of the varnish. ☹️

I don't know what my problem is. I look at the canisters and see the word "matt" in "anti shine matt varnish" and my brain says "oh that's the paint one, grab the other canister".

I need some kind of mental trick to stop doing this, the wasted time kills me.

Put primers in a locked separate box

Yeah, that might be a good idea not to keep them sitting next to each other. 😕 As for this, I think I'm just going to rewrite it as a strange frost-covered ogre skeleton.

do something to mark one as more distinct from the other, like wrap a bunch of painters/masking/duct tape on the cap and write in permanent marker VARNISH or PRIMER. whatever so they are clearly different to you
