I'd also try wiping the brush on the edge of the resevoir. It leaves you some in the resevoir for next time, and keeps the rim clean.

One of the other glorious features of flip-tops, is that they are easy to clean. As seen with this pot of 1980's Ghoul Grey, you take a knife and run it under the dried paint in the rim. The gunk in the rim lifts out easily and your pot is good as new:

I do both of those.

Ufortunately leaving paint on the rim seems to cause it to dry much quicker. I only recently started painting again, and found that the paint seems to dry much quicker than I remember. Is it me, or have they added a chemical to the paint to make it dry quicker?

It wouldn't surprise me! Frakk GW!!!

Or the paint is just a worse quality as their main clientele most likely doesn't paint much or well....(12-16 year old boys) So why put effort and money into it. More Space Marines!!!
