Forgot to add that the little caps are sticking because the oil paint is drying out and becoming hard ( but you already new that ). So, carefully rinse the caps out using turpentine or other solvent to get the threads clean and wipe the threads on the tubes to get them clean also.
Then they should not freeze solid in the future.
Cheers,
James

Can anyone here give me a reason why I shouldn't use a good brand of regular artist's oil paints instead of Marshall's Photo Oils for hand coloring photographs?
The tiny tubes of Marshall's, that split open and squirt paint everywhere when I try to twist off a stuck tube lid, have caused me to run out of patience.
