Loose Sifters Make Me Sad

Post by vivify » Wed Jul 09, 2008 9:59 am

I had a pretty big order before my latest sample order and finally got around to trying my the SWP colors. Problem is that when i went to tap some eyeshadow out, the sifter fell off and well you know... :cry: Managed to save some but I noticed the sifters were loose on several of the jars of just this order. I had around 20 jars that order! I checked my latest sample order and all my other previous orders. They all have the sifters firmly attached. Is there a way I can get these on tighter? I'm thinking maybe when it was shipped the heat caused the jars to expand? Thats the only explanation I can think of. If anyone has any suggestions I'm all ears. Thanks!

I had this happen to one of my eye shadows on my first order, I almost cried. Luckily it happened on my counter that had just been cleaned so I scraped most of it up with paper. When I pushed the sifter in it seemed to hold firm so I think mine will stay. I would suggest that if yours is loose to get some teflon tape (plumbers section of your hardware store, about $1 for a roll) and put it around the edge of the sifter and than put it back in the jar.
