Hi Susie, sorry for the delay... it likely would work, although probably not as well as if you were to exclude most of the air.  Give it a try though [and let me know?].... cheers!

Susie - your Green Apple and Friend is a fabulous lively painting. Liked your freestyle and brushwork - Hazel

one more thing...would it work if i just put a big piece of tin foil over the box and put that in the freezer?..if i found room?

Wow is right! I have done that with a wet sponge cloth over acrylics, but never thought it would work for oils. I'll try it too. Thanks, Edith.

If you can take the palette out of the box and wrap it with tin foil.... yes, it really does work - I've been able to use paint which was in the freezer for weeks!

Hi Nancy & Susie.....

Go ahead and put out plenty of [oil] paint.... top tip [which you probably already know]:  cover your palette tightly with tinfoil and keep it in the freezer.  Your paint will stay fresh and easy to use!
