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,

I take a good swing and bang the cap against the edge of the bench.
Flies right off.
