What happens here

Once the paint is completely dry, the dried paint film forms a solid layer. Grab an edge of this dried paint layer inside the bucket and begin to peel it out. If a bucket screen was used, it will often come out along with the peeled paint, leaving a completely clean bucket. The speaker demonstrates this with buckets that have accumulated multiple layers of dried paint over several uses.

Goal: Remove dried paint from the bucket by peeling

Tools and materials

  • Bucket Screen — Sifting paint, often removed with the peeled paint
  • Paint Bucket — The container from which dried paint is peeled
  • Dried Paint — The dried film being removed

bucket out. And after the first coat of paint inside this bucket, at any point in time, if you come into this bucket and you want to peel the paint out because the paint is wet, or you just want to take some of the paint out because of the weight of the bucket, you can peel it out. So, going to clean the bucket out as much as we can by pulling the excess paint out. And then we actually just grab an edge of this bucket. And you can see I'll pull this bucket's been used probably, you know, about five times. And then the screen will just come right out. And you can just see the bucket just peels out. It's completely clean. And this is what the paint that comes out, what it looks like. And this is approximately five different colors of paint. Now I've got a dry, clean bucket. Take put my bucket screen back in. And this method of cleaning our buckets we found over the years is the fastest, most efficient way to cleaning them. Got another bucket right here. This bucket's probably got, you know, three to four coats of paint in it. I can just actually grab again pulling the paint. The screen sometimes sticks will stick to the side of the bucket, but you can see the screen will actually pull the paint right off too. This works with most of your almost all of your 100% acrylic paints. This method on your first coat that you actually put in the bucket. If it's a flat paint, it won't peel out as much. This works with all our exterior paints cuz we use a satin 100% acrylic paint from Sher Williams, which is super paint. Typically works with all your interior paints, too, that are not flat, but eggshell, satin, semig gloss or above. But you can see the bucket. This one had a little bit left in the bottom. We can peel it out.
