Much easier to cut a strip of aluminum foil and cover the rim with it,
at least on the pouring side and wide enough to catch the little bit
that runs down the side of the can. *Make sure to pour from the side
opposite where the color formula is written (or copy it onto the lid, too).

Have seen a plastic pourng lip that snaps on side of the can!
