Painting Advise Needed

[r.morrison]

Hi David: There are two inexpensive items you could use. One is a plastic "lip"that snaps on the rim of the can, after the lid is removed. It's ideal for pouring into trays etc. The one that would probably work best for you is a plastic lid that snaps on the gallon tin, after the lid is removed. It has a built in pouring spout with a screw on lid. ideal for the small jar you're eventually going to need to get it into. If Rona doesn't have them, try Cloverdale Paints. Just phone them and see if they sell them. I've used them for years.
Good luck.....Robert

How about a waxed paper cup as a ladle and throw it away afterwards. The flimsy plastic cups disolve in some kinds of thinners so are best avoided !

Thanks everyone for your input on this. Much appreciated.

I was puttering in the Laundry Room this morning and realized there was a stack of clear plastic laundry soap measuring cups sitting on the shelf and Barry's idea for spray paint lids came to mind, so problem now solved.

Best regards,


David
