TAG 90 - Is my blond showing?

Okay, I'm sure there is an obvious explanation for this.

During the dark ages of the last few weeks when dfx and wolfe white was nowhere to be found I went ahead and ordered a TAG 90 gm white cake from Metina. While I'm not particularly impressed with it on its own - it was a good value and will offer me better coverage over other colors than my beloved Paradise. So I guess it's a keeper. But then today I'm looking at it closer....

...can anyone tell me why there is a lid on the bottom of it that appears to screw on to the top lid?

So you can screw all your paints together like a tube. It makes it easy to transport. I'm not converted to the idea yet because I use a lot of different types of paint. Lucie Brouillard transfers hers into dollar store containers that screw together like that, then she lays them out chromatically.

Lol Pixie - No your blond is not showing, I thought the same thing when I got my first TAG 90. If you unscrew the bottom "lid" and take the top lid off another TAG 90 you can screw it into it so they make a stack! I don't use them like that but I'm sure there are people who do.

Oh, doh - get it - I have camping "spice" containers like that (only smaller). Hey, crafty marketing idea on their part. Gotta admire good engineering whether we use it or not.

What!?? I was keeping my loose change in there....you never know when you might need.......never mind.

NOW that my sister - should garner you a high paying marketing job! Companies pay good bucks for that kind of creativity. Should we start a new thread...what do you really keep in your TAG bottoms (think very Calvin Kleinish)

LOL! You know, I bet we could come up with some CRAZY ways to use those bottom containers - maybe like a false-bottom suitcase, we could carry out covert face painting escapades! Yeah, a little silly, I know. Oh, my dreams of grandeur......007 I am not...

LOL! Maybe keep extra paint down there for those clients that want 500 kids painted in 1 hour... just unscrew & stamp!

Forget the pouncer! Just smush and go...lol!

which brands have those screw-off lids?? just TAG?

My DFX white from Metina has a screw bottom also one of my rainbow cakes from SillyFarm has a screw bottom. I wondered what it was for and thought it might screw into tubes. I am a bleach blonde

Oh, I love the change/money idea! I hate carrying my own money to my events.

so does wolfe! I screw the black and white together

Only the 45's and 90's though. The smaller size doesn't.

that's what I thought..because I only have the smaller size...

Also if you get a few of them & put the containers into a palette type carrier where you don't need to have the lids on your paints. You can screw the lid & bottom together & have a new container ready to make your own split cake.

Mendi, that's an awesome idea! This makes me excited!

I wondered the same thing at first until I saw some site selling "stackable" containers then I figured it out. I do use a container where I don't need separate lids and I have made split cakes with all of my one-stroke lids!!

I have my black and white dfx stacked together, too. Saves space and time because they are the first I reach for.
