Abstract: Between the closed and open ends of a receptacle is a barrier traversable by a coating material. The barrier separates the receptacle into a coating material reservoir at the closed end and a receiving pocket at the open end configured to enclose an applicator of the coating material or an article to be covered with the coating material. The open end has a selectively resealable closure. A lower compartment and an upper compartment with a selectively resealable upper end communicate through a sieve traversable by the coating material and impassable to applicator or article. A flexible front wall is continuously sealed to a flexible back wall along a contiguous series of edges that terminates in spaced-apart ends on opposite sides of an opening into an interior space between the front and back walls in which a sieve secures the front and back walls.
