airbrush cleaning pot; not sealing cos GLASS is warped?

[alesi27]

Yes the glass, not the lid. Has anyone else seen it before? Got one of the small ones from ebay, generic version of the Revell branded and Iwata branded cleaning pots. After a few months noticed it was venting vapour from the threads of the lid, and one day the lid came clean off. under inspection, noticed that the glass itself was deformed around the lip and threads, so much so that it wont screw down at allmnow. 

Bought one of the larger yellow lidded ones from Bartsharp.  Big conical shaped one. Turns out to be too big for my spray booth and as well will not hold my Aztek safely. After a few weeks noticed the very same issue. Lid is fine, but won't screw closed as glass is warped. Am I just unlucky or does a combination of IPA, white spirit and cellulouse thinner cause glass to melt? If the plastic lids did I'd understand, but the glass? Has anyone else seen this before?

I have used a Badger version for years with noe problems.

Glass will NEVER melt/warp/change under anything but HEAT
If you notice now the warp, it's probably because the other part has changed...

Hi
I have a similar problem with the Revell airbrush pot. I have always worked with Tamiya paints in the past and had no problems. For some time now I have been using Zero-Paint and the respective cleaner. After a few weeks, the lid could no longer be tightened. He went through loosely. The glass is OK, the lid is very soft and warped. The seller exchanged it without hesitation. Apparently the plastic does not tolerate the cellulose cleaner.
