I've had good luck storing paint upside down. I know some others
that swear by inserting a gas like propane to displace the oxygen
just before sealing the can.

I've never been happy with the way paint stores over a period
of
years.

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!
