I've bought some E sig bottles that i plan to use as paint droppers. They were recommended by a youtuber so i have no doubt they will do. The issue is getting the paint in. The youtube guy said to add a bit of distilled water to the paint to make it flow a bit better. Im planning to do around 60 paints. So its going to be a days venture.

Anyone have any tips/advice?

For my GW paints, I just use cheap droppers from the craft store to transfer them, then dilute them when I actually use them. When putting them in a bottle, I’d add a shaker ball if you have them. I bought like 100 on Amazon for pretty cheap.

The video pretty much covers it, but word of advice. Lay down a plastic bag, or some nylon or something that won't let paint reach your table or cutting mat. Paper towels won't do. You WILL spill some.

I was planning to do that (maybe still will) and I was going to use a syringe for the transfer with those angled tips, it will all depend on my storage system if I’ll change from drawer to put all above the desk 😅

I use luer lock syringes for it, you can get those off amazon and such.

why those? I just tested mine and it worked fine
transferred half of a paint pot to the dropper bottle

I did this with my Citadel, I used distilled water, just enough for the paint to flow better through the tube entrance because in most cases, because they have higher viscosity, the drop is fatter than the tube entrance, something that helps is to elevate it, move the exit of one away from the entrance of the other, over time you get the hang of it.
