Dulux paint pods

Options
In this lockdown decided to do some painting, parents brought me a Paint pod about 10 years ago:-).thought about time to use it,then found out they don't do paint anymore for it and the pods are harder to find than a golden egg laying chicken,so sat and thought about it. 
Was using wilco lemon silk paint,put it into a 6 pint plastic Tesco milk container,after washing it out,fits just right,a 4 pint would also work,on the inside of the pods lid there are 2 blue push up buttons,these are pushed up by the actual paint pod,as the milk container is a different shape put a bit of strong tape over the right side blue button,clip it down and all the lights should work now ,if it doesn't try taping the other side ones,note you have to remove tape in order for the cleaning cycle to work.if the red light comes on its just to do with them buttons so have a fiddle,And you can carry on using the pod rather than chucking it out
Happy painting
