Roger, Is there some reason you cannot peel away the plastic before dipping into the paint then replace with another?
Some of that food wrap might also be better, it is thinner and might be easier to pull snug and thin over the mouth of the can. I know that the paint is pretty sticky so peeling away the plastic might be just a little difficult. You could moisten it with water, not wet but just moist which should repel the oil base of the paint without contaminating it.

Meaning, I've had to do allot of small areas at a time. I figure that it is really starting to hit me in the wallet. Is there a device, or some kind of unit that i can purchase, that will make it easier to seal a paint can? I mean do they make such an animal? I'm getting the Pour15 in quart size cans. And i've had to use a Dixie cup to get the liquid out of the can. First you've got to cut the Dixie cup almost in half just to get the dam cup into the can. The can says to thoroughly wipe the can down, then apply a plastic bag in between the can and the lid before sealing. So hear is my dilemma. Because i have to take the lid off the can so many times, i have to put a plastic bag in between each time. Witch In the end result, I'm having a hard time closing the can at all because of so many layers of plastic bags. I need a new tool, Can anyone recommend anything suitable for this problem? I finally put a 3rd layer of paint on the drivers side main rail. I used a foam paint brush. I highly recommend any blind person to use one of these babies. It's blind friendly. Take care Yawl, Roger C Bachelder 3rd [EMAIL PROTECTED] [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
