I did that around midnight in a then illegal state of mind listening to the large full of paint bounce down the stairs in slow motion thinking so far so good till it got to the bottom then a sound I never heard before but imediatley recognised and there was the content all over the carpet. Nah, rolled another one covered the lot with wet newspapers so it wouldn't dry and went to bed. Next morning thought about how to rescue the carpets then came up with the idea. Went to hire place and hired wet carpet cleaner that soaks and sucks at the same times with the provided detergents............. Couldn't believe it worked and the machine didn't get wrecked. Happy days.

Good tip. One additional note...even on a new can of paint, wipe the top rim with a paper towel before you stick the tape on it. Mine had enough residue that the tape didn't stick well and it leaked. Wiping the rim and sealing the tape with good thumb pressure made it leak proof!

Now this is what KZread should be used for. Thanks for the tip. 👍

I have been professionally repairing house for a long time, including painting too. This tip in pouring paint out is the simplest and best trick in preventing an outcome I have ever seen. Thanks.

I’ve been decorating for over 40 years and only now find this genius idea!

This was seriously one of the best tips I've seen over the years on KZread. It's always been a pain in the butt dealing with paint getting on the rim of the can - or, on the side of the can - while pouring into a smaller can or paint tray. The nail-hole in the trough on the can's rim never quite works. And, lastly, your solution keeps most - if not all - paint from clogging up the rim which in turn will create a better seal when placing the lid back on the can. This will undoubtedly make your paint last significantly longer. Again, many thanks.

I wish I had been shown this 40 years ago. Genius yet so simple. Thank you.

It's always good to have a nice clean rim

Absolutely great. Now, a tip for you that I came up with myself. Never seen it anywhere. When you choose your color, get an extra of the paint swatch sample cards. Be sure to mark your exact color and put it behind the entry door switch plate cover when you reinstall the plate. That way you’ll always have the brand and exact to match any time in the future. If you can’t get the same brand, the store can color match off the color square

And the crusty paint that forms around the lid and then falls into your paint is a ballache!

I qualified in the UK as a Hosuse Painter & Decorator in the 70s. Never paint directly out of a tin. Always decant into a paint kettle. Always tip paint out of the back of the can with the instructions and not over the side that tells you the paint colour. And just keep a clean rag and alway wipe the rim before returning the lid, unless you are going to use the whole can that day.

Why not use the brush to scoop paint out of lid? I'm proud to say I never use drop cloths.

@budte

Жыл бұрын

@@windsofmarchjourneyperrytr2823 You do not paint directly out of a can for two reasons. The handles are designed to carry paint from the store to your car - not to be relied upon all day long and especially if you are up a ladder. Secondly, as soon as you remove the lid the paint is exposed to air and starts thickening/drying. If you paint out of the can then the paint you put on the rim will dry and the next time you come to use the paint it will have bits in it that will transfer to whatever you are painting. Same reason after decanting the paint into a kettle you wipe the rim with a clean cloth before returning the lid, instead of using a brush (unless water-based emulsion you are going to use up that day). Any paint left on the rim will dry and put bits into your paint. More important with oil-based paints and diyers who will be returning the can to the garden shed for months on end. Dropcloths are there for the respect of the customers property and anyone who never uses them does not know how to thin paint properly and isn't getting the finish achievable. Instant firing on my firm. As some one who has in the past hired and fired decorators these are the things that tell me quickly who are the painters who have learned their trade by apprenticeship and the chancers who were selling ice cream the week before.

I use a cardboard cup to pour my paint into and paint from that. No clean up..

Great example of sharing something relatively simple that can actually help a lot of people! Can't wait to try this, thanks for sharing.

Another tip is I always use a magic marker to Mark the lid and the rim so it goes back on at the same place that you took it off of. That may sound silly but it makes a difference believe me and I'm talking about a clean rim and lid it still makes a difference to get a perfect seal

Thank you! I knew there had to be a way without buying fancy plastic spouts.

Thanks. This has always driven me nuts.

I've watched a million things on tips and this was one of the best

Just what I was looking for. Thank you. My current painters tape is only about an inch wide so I'll just double up on it and make it wider to do this and make it work. No matter how much I try not to make a mess while pouring or anything to do with painting I do make a mess. But I'm going to try this method.

WOW!! Youre telling me for 40 year i could have been doing this!

YOU ARE A GENIUS! Why didn't somebody show me this years ago.

Danny is the man, old handyman here and glad this old dog just learned a new trick.

Easy and in my whole life I never figured this out. Great work.

This is one of those "gee, why the hell didn't I think of that?" moments! Thank you for such a great tip!

Have painted for 20 years & never thought of it.👍👍👍

Brilliant! Thank you so much, I was making too much of a mess everywhere!

Good useful tip! Everyone loves a nice clean rim!!

This worked so well! No mess at all.

This was the perfect tip that I needed and was looking for because I won’t be using the whole gallon of paint at once and was concerned about closing the lid with no mess. This was the first video that came up in my search and low and behold it’s Danny Lipford from today’s homeowner and I listen to the show every weekend on the radio and its very enjoyable and educational. That’s an automatic subscribe and like from me! Thanks!

Just tried it. Works just like he shows! Perfection.

Just adding to the chorus of praise. Many thanks!

I am just a DIY home renovator but my local paint store gave me a contractor account years ago because I paint so often. I have been trying to figure out how to not wreck the cans for so many years and tried this a few days ago and just came back to say thank you!!! It's not like I don't have tape handy and this made cleanup so much easier.

This will be my routine from now on. Thanks, this is a great idea to solve a pesky problem that ruins label information and worse, rusts the can lip

Best tip on KZread

I love this tip. Thank you, it's a great idea, simple but effective. I purchased these vinyl things that attach to the groove in the can but I have to either remove it to put the top on so the paint on the inside of the can where you poured it out doesn't dry or put a damp rag over the whole thing. Then you remove it when your done it is another thing that you need to clean.

Oh my word! So simple. I'll be doing this Sunday with a primer I need to apply. Thank you so much!

Geez, you win the internetz. This has got to be the most useful tip I've seen yet on any video that I can actually use. Thank you!

Genius mate!!! Exactly what I needed! Thanks

Great tip. So confident to pour the paint while wearing a nice purple shirt, BEAST!

Well, that just worked super well for me!! Thank you!! Some more helpful hints... Press the tape securely onto the rim. If you're pouring into a tray and you don't have a brush handy, I'd have the trash bin or a box nearby and place some cardboard or drop cloth down just in case. The mind acts stupid and tends to overact making more of a mess when paint starts dripping.

Great tip! ✨👍🏻💯No more sticky lids from the paint on the rim😊

Thanks, I never thought about doing this. I have always made a few holes inside the rim with a hammer and a nail. Any paint that gets in there runs back into the tin. It keeps it cleaner and you can shut the lid.

The plastic paint cans now being used are not as easy to use the nail holes in the rim method anymore. I used to do that myself. This tape method looks like a real winner.

Awesome yet so simple tip. Thank you!

Nice 👍, now I can show this video to my guys, always cans dripping. Your videos r helpful for guys like me that r starting with a small painting company thanks. Lots of blessings 🙏🙏

I always pop holes with a small nail into the indentation around the rim. That way the paint can drip back into the can. You can run a brush around it to push the paint through the holes.

Thank you. This changed my life for the better!

This is great. Thanks very much for sharing!
