Tip Corner - Revitalize Your Painting Projects with This Simple Paint Can Hack

How often have you opened an old paint can, ready to do some touch-ups, only to find a disappointing mess inside?

                                          

You know the drill: you pour out the paint, and dry bits fall into your tray, inevitably ending up on your walls, leading to headaches and a subpar finish.

THE SOLUTION

Here's a straightforward solution to reduce or eliminate these issues. When you first open a new can of paint, take a screwdriver or any pointed tool and punch small holes in the lip of the can.

   

                  

 

These tiny drip holes allow excess paint to flow back into the can, making cleanup and resealing the lid much easier. The next time you open your can, you'll be glad you did this simple prep step!   

                    

Pro Tip for Easy Pouring

When pouring paint, always turn the can so that the label with your preferred language faces you. This ensures you can read the entire label in the future without any paint smudges.
