<p>A paint container comprises a tray (10) filled with a set medium (18) - such as a thioxotropic paint which responds to shear at its surface to create a liquid phase of shallow depth - and closed with a cover (11). The filling is performed with the cover in place through an aperture (20), in the side wall (19) of the tray, which is subsequently sealed with a plug (21). The filling is preferably made with the tray on edge until a slight bulge and a small voidage exist. The bulge and the voidage are then removed by applied external pressure to the tray thus giving a substantially 100% sealed filling so that the container can be moved without spillage and the contents allowed to set without the need for applied heat.</p> |
