Greetings,
having used this stuff and learned the hard way (what other way is
there...duh). Mikes suggestion is a perfect way to use this stuff.. You don't
waste it, don't get it on you and it is easy to do. I had one lid and can
welded together. The kicker is, I had never opened it...and it was still
welded shut. Totally destroyed the can in the process of getting the paint
out.. Bought a fresh new can from Home Depot. and was very careful to use
plastic wrap when I closed it again. Still very messy. Mike's suggestion is
terrific.
