What happens here

After straining the paint, the presenter discusses the practice of "boxing" paint, which involves mixing different containers of the same paint together. This ensures a consistent color and finish across the entire project, especially when using multiple buckets or for white/light colors where slight variations might otherwise be noticeable. He then demonstrates how to efficiently squeeze any residual paint from the strainer back into the paint bucket using a disposable latex glove. This technique minimizes waste and keeps hands clean.

Goal: Achieve consistent paint color and maximize paint usage from strainers
