[Shop-talk] cheap pails

[Eric J Russell]

A friend showed me this 'trick' a few years ago. I suppose y'all already knew
this but none of youse guys told me...

Anyway, use a can opener (the kind you'd use to open a can of beans) to remove
the rim from a paint can when it's empty. After washing them out gallon size
paint cans (with the bail handle) make useful buckets. Quart size make useful
small pails &/or paint holders (I like to dispense paint into them rather
'contaminate' the original paint can).
