31 Days of ASCP, Day 14...Hammer the Lids Down...Hard!


We interrupt the 31 Days Series to bring you a VERY important tip.....

When putting your lids back on your paint cans make sure you hammer those lids down really tight!

Goodbye to a almost full can of Versailles!  

Remember that lovely organized paint bucket from this post?  Well, it seems I piled the cans pretty high in my bucket, didn't hammer the lid down tight enough, and and then stopped short on a downward hill.

OOPS!!!

  2. Been there...done that ;-<

    Luckily I was working with a vinyl tablecloth as a drop cloth, so I scooped like nobodies business..then brushed directly off the drop cloth. I was not going to waste a drop.

  6. OMG - I just did that in the backseat of my new truck. All over the carpet and under the seat - a whole quart of old white. Well, lesson learned and now if I am travelling with it I put it in a plastic bag, tied shut, and secure in a box or bin. I'm glad I'm not the only one who did it!
