The Best Way to Close the Paint Can Without Ruining the Mess
After a long day of careful and leisurely coloring, the last thing you want to do is paint where it shouldn’t be. This simple trick will ensure that paint doesn’t fly all over the place when you close the lid.
This video from the Popular Mechanics YouTube channel demonstrates the dangers of closing a paint can. Excess paint can build up on the edge of the paint can, and if you’re not careful, it can fly out when you close the lid. It is best to wipe down first and remove as much paint from the rim as possible. However, some paint may remain, so you can safely close the lid with a rag, napkin, or paper towel to prevent paint stains. Don’t forget to brush too !
