Hi, I have a 1 gallon paint can. There is paint on the sides of
the can, so I cannot read the instructions on how to open the can.

How can I open this can of paint? It looks like the lid press fits into
the can and can be opened the a flat screwdriver or a paint can opener,
but I don't know what to do. Paint cans are very clever.

help, help.


Turn the can up-side down on the edge of a table and lie on the floor
staring directly at the edge of the can. Now, with a flat blade
screwdriver, very carefully pry the lid off.


This is a good idea. The weight of the paint will help the lid to come
off.



Feel free to substitute a plasma cutter
or gas ax for the screwdriver.
