One archetype across all six, and it does not fit three of them.

Miniature paint decant

Bulk acrylic or lacquer into 15 to 30 mL. A repackaging question first, a resin compatibility question second, and the craft the whole statute section above is about.

Wash and shade

A paint thinned with a medium and a flow improver, which is closer to formulating than repackaging. Thin, dropper dispensed, and it separates on standing, so the bottle has to be shakeable.

Primer decant

The flashpoint craft. Different rulebook, immediate hazard, glass, and the one on this list that should probably not be shipped.

Brush soap

A conditioning soap in a shallow pot, used wet, with a brush pushed into it. A jar craft rather than a bottle craft, and 281 of the containers here are jars.

Basing material

Sand, grit, ballast, static grass and flock. Sold by weight, which puts it under the 28 g half of the small container clause rather than the 30 mL half.

Pigment and weathering

Loose pigment powder in a small jar. The dustiest product in this group and the one where inhalation is the obvious route, which makes the chronic hazard question concrete.

All six sit on one archetype

ind-chemical: 100 to 20,000 mL, narrow mouth, HDPE and glass, light sensitive, child resistant, poured. It is an industrial chemical window and it was applied to a hobby that works at 15 mL.

Which is right about the chemistry

"Chemical resistance is the entire decision, check the resin chart first" is exactly correct for a lacquer decant and for a primer, and it is the reason PET drops out of consideration for half this group.

And wrong about the format

Narrow mouth and poured describes a paint decant and describes nothing about a brush soap pot, a pigment jar or a bag of ballast. Three of the six are wide mouth crafts on a narrow mouth archetype.

Which is why the shelf reads large

The window starts at 100 mL. The craft works at 15 and 30. The containers page gives the counts, and the gap is a real one rather than a presentational quirk.

The archetype behind this shelf is ind-chemical: 100 to 20,000 mL, narrow mouth, HDPE and glass, light sensitive, child resistant, poured, with "chemical resistance is the entire decision, check the resin chart first" as its stated reason. All six leaves in this group sit on it. The window is an industrial one and this craft works at 15 and 30 mL, which is why the shelf reads large for the work.

15 U.S.C. 1277(b)(7). Where the Commission determines that an art material "in a container equal to or smaller than one fluid ounce (30 ml) (if the product is sold by volume) or one ounce net weight (28 g) (if the product is sold by weight) has the potential for producing chronic adverse health effects with customary or reasonably foreseeable use despite its small size", the Commission "may require the art material to carry a label which conveys all the information required under the standard referred to in subsection (a) as modified by this subsection for art materials in a container greater than one fluid ounce or one ounce net weight". law.cornell.edu

The Davis Pack Supply catalog, measured 18 October 2026. The miniature painting shelf is 1,439 rows: 793 containers and 646 closures. 5 mL to 9,464 mL with a median of 118; 41 containers at 15 mL or under, 115 at 30 mL or under, 228 at 60 or under and 411 at 120 or under. 430 PET, 133 HDPE, 133 glass, 87 PP, 9 steel. 487 bottles, 281 jars, 13 tubs and pails, 9 tins, 2 tubes. 143 amber or dark amber. Closures: 382 continuous thread, 43 dropper assemblies, 32 disc top, 31 child resistant, 27 dome lids, 26 spouted, 19 lug and twist, 17 flip top, 14 phenolic, 13 spice caps.

Written from 15 U.S.C. 1277, 16 CFR 1500.14(b)(8) and 16 CFR 1500.3(c)(6), and from the catalog as it stood on 18 October 2026. Where a requirement turns on a determination the Commission makes rather than on a fixed rule, this property says so. Nothing here is a toxicological review, which is the one thing in this area that cannot be done from a document.
