Dear Ray:
I found most of the handy tips useful, but I did not understand one tip.
That was the one that recommended using a nail to make holes in the trough
which forms the top edge of the paint can, claiming that these holes do not
interfere with the resealing of the can of paint, as the lid seals against the
side.
The paint cans with which
I am familiar would leak and let in air, if holes were punched in the groove.
While some lids do cover the entire top and go down a slight distance on the
outside of the can or bucket, those are usually the containers for drywall mud
or thicker material, and are generally larger buckets, five gallons or larger.
The one gallon and smaller cans are usually sealed with a lid that fits
inside the top rim.
If you can shed any light on how holes can be punched in the groove
without allowing for leaks or drying out the contents from the air going in, I
would appreciate it.
Yours Truly,
Clifford Wilson
