Transfer GW Paints to DROPPER BOTTLES the EASY WAY with the Drop Dripper!

Here's how you can Transfer GW Paints to DROPPER BOTTLES the EASY WAY with the Drop Dripper! In today's video I'll show you the easiest way ever to decant your Citadel paints into dropper bottles thanks to an awesome device called the Drop Dripper.
All the links for the Drop Dripper and everything else you need will be posted below.
DISCLAIMER - I haven't been asked to review this, I 've bought the Drop Dripper and the bottles with my own money, and I was that impressed I wanted to do a video on it. When something comes along that makes your hobbying easier, then the community needs to know about it :) I posted the results of my first go on Twitter if you want to take a look (link below).
So, in August there was a Kickstarter for something called the Drop Dripper, and while it looked like easy mode for decanting paints, it didn't get backed. Thankfully though, the guys at Drop Drippers decided to go into production anyway and posted on the Bolter and Chainsword forums (awesome site btw) that it was now available. I decided to get one and give it a whirl, as I've always wanted to transfer my GW paints to dropper bottles but have been fearful of the time involved and the effort.
With the Drop Dripper, it basically does it all for you which you can see in the video. All you need are some 15ml dropper bottles, a funnel and some thinner. If you want you can add a mixing ball to drop in at the end, which I would recommend.
Hats off to the guys Drop Drippers, they've made an awesome product that is cheap very easy to use, so much so that when they release one in different colours, I might grab a couple more! Their customer service is great too - they've been quick to respond to questions online, and my order turned up fast, so no problems there.
Here's where to get your Drop Dripper:

These are the bottles I got from Amazon - I got a pack of 50, link below:

    Update - not sure why but this video has suddenly exploded! Bit of hindsight, I’d do the label first, rather than later, but it’s entirely up to you. Also, be careful not to use too much thinner, just enough to get the paint flowing. You can always add water too. Thanks for watching!

    Interesting video, thank you. It doesn't matter quite what sequence you use re labels and balls and that device does look useful for setting aside and getting on with another task. Yes giving the paint a few minutes with a shaker device would help reduce thinner consumption during the process and speed it up some. I have well over a hundred GW paints and putting them into dropper bottles is a good idea but would take quite a long time. Still, I believe it extends the life of the paint so... Never a bad thing 😊 Thanks again, CHEERS!

    Pretty useless device. And the stock funnels are too narrow--Look at all that wasted paint. Just cut the bottom off one of those funnels so it fits tightly around the top lip of the new bottle. Vortex-shake the GW paint pot with a couple of 4mm stainless balls and a few drops of the thinner of your choice. Pour, add a couple more drops thinner, shake, pour again. Very little waste that way. I've transferred over 300 GW paints this way. Cheap, Efficient, Clean.

    Nice method! Never knew that thing excisted? And life it soo short to keep using those damned pots.. only i used AK interactive's 17ml empty dropper bottles; same pots used with their latest 3th Gen paints... So much better thicker quality plastic than the flimsy cheap ebay/amazons bulk pots. Absolutely hate those, as you mentioned you can collapse them just by pressing the top too hard for example.. You should always stick the label first to the new pot and then start transferring... Saves allot of headache when things do go south regarding paint on your fingers! Furthermore same as you did, i mixed in some thinner/flow improver, but i just stuck the empty dropper bottle with some bluetac to my desk and then just poured all the paint in carefully. The funnel is a waste of money and effort, and paint eventually imo. Finally to get the last paint out of the pot, i just scoop it out there with a new fat cheap brush and run it into/over the opening of the dropper.

    Hi, I gave these a go but had mixed results. Too little thinner and the funnel fills up but does not not decant. Too much and your paint is too thin. I suffered with the too thick scenario (and once committed it can very messy trying to recover so be warned). So for me I have settled with a couple 3d printed bottle holders and wider neck funnels which let the agitator ball drop through. I like to use the agitator to help the mix the paint ready for decanting, mixing the paint with a electric stirrer/paint shaker etc and all is well. This is not to say this is not a great product/idea, it just did not work out for me....

    The reason I feel this product is unnecessary is because most people will transfer their paints ONCE. Because they will buy GW paints, realize what a pain they are to deal them, transfer them into droppers, grow smart and next time they buy Army Painter. Or Vallejo. Or other such brands that come in dropper bottles. People get into this hobby and they are tricked into buying overpriced Citadel paints, because it stands to reason that's what you gotta buy to paint your army. But there's actually not much difference in quality. And if you're talking contrast paints - Army Painter Speedpaint 2.0 is actually SO MUCH BETTER than GW that you shouldn't even consider it. The only thing that GW has is washes. I like their washes, but those are OK to stay in pots. Everything else - you buy them once, you transfer them, and then you never want to deal with that ever again. And so I don't see myself buying a product for that.

    @@hobbywaffle i honestly think that for every Citadel paint you can find an alternative that is the same quality or better - for a lower price. The thing is, Citadel paints are already expensive per ml tat you get. But then you also inevitably lose a good 5-7% of that volume, because it just dries up in the pot. And even if you transfer right away - there is likely a lot of paint lost during this process that you can't fully recover from the pot or the funnel etc. If you USE the pot - then likely you lose 10-15% of it just drying. So you think you have bought 12ml, when in reality you'll be able to use only 10-11 of it at best. Which makes that paint so expensive that alterbatives are just better in all regards. I actually felt taken advantage of when I realized this.

I emailed back that I still wanted the product but I haven't gotten a reply back about it or any tracking information if anything was sent.

    Not bad in itself, but also a bit unnecessarily. Pouring paint from pot A into pot B should be possible without tools. I also scrape out pots with a popsicle to avoid wasting as much as possible. However, in defence, I am a trained painter and used to working with paints of all kinds.

    I did scrape out the pots off camera with a sculpting tool, as some of the thicker GW paints had quite a bit of excess in the pots, and didn’t want to keep adding thinner. If the device been any more expensive I probably wouldn’t have bothered, but figured I’d give it a go after seeing it on kickstarter.

    I use a wet pallet, so never felt the need to transfer my paints. I just put a drop there with a brush and good to go; doesn't matter where and how the paint came from. Never had a problem with pots in the 20+ years I've been using them. Have a few vallejo colors and I like 'em but never seen the attractiveness of dropper bottles. They are all the same to me.

    This is extremely over complicated for what is a fairly simple task. The drop dripper contraption is completely redundant when you can just thin and pour the paint into dropper directly from the paint pot, you end up losing paint to the funnel, then you have to clean the funnel and set it all back up again for each paint. I did 34 paints in just over an hour. I would also not recommend using a thinner but a medium as this can affect pigment and fiscosity.
