Whenever I buy paint and store it, I'm always very meticulous about
sealing the can, as well as wiping the lid and the groove for the lid.
It seems like no matter what I do, paint always seems to eventually
rust in the can or just plain dry up. *I guess there's nothing that
can be done about the "skin" that forms.

Does anyone have any new or different ideas or some creative ways to
store paint for the long term??

Thanks!

Some people have good luck with cleaning the lid groove well, tamping
firmly in place and storing the can up side down. For oil based
paints, a teaspoon of thinner or Floetrol on the surface will slow
down the skinning over somewhat. HTH
