Mike,
Thank you. That is a great suggestion. The most aggravating part of using this
paint is getting it out of the container. When I tried to open the new can the
sucker was welded shut (by the paint).
I completely destroyed the can when I opened it. Went to Home Depot and bought
a new can for 99 cents. Have used seran wrap on the lid and have had little
trouble. Good grief is it messy!!! Your suggestion is a beautiful thing. I
love this list!!!!!!
