Any of you old-timers in the same fix I'm in? I was trying to wrench the
glass-slick cap off a spray can of Minwax urethane finish last night, and
these old hands have lost so much grip strength since I was young that I
couldn't get the dang thing off no matter how I tried. I was eventually
reduced to jamming a long screwdriver right through the cap and levering the
wreckage off of the can. When I was done I looked down at the mess I'd made
of it and just shook my head.

Your basic old Krylon cap is a bit easier, but not much. Often I end up
slipping a flat-bladed screwdriver tip under one edge and levering it off,
trying not to break it in the process.

Anybody have any good ideas for me?

Thanks,
Tom
