My mother in law was flying today and she checked a box of artists paints (oil paints) with her luggage. She was paged back to the original counter as they told her she could not check the box of paints on the plane. Does anyone know the policy on this. I have seen a sign about paints, but would it apply to these types of paints. She did bring some with her on the first leg of the trip with no problems.

Others told her they travel all the time with paints. Appreciate any info on this.
