What happens here

This DIY project demonstrates a quick and effective hack for pouring paint from a large container (gallon or five-gallon bucket) into a smaller paint can without making a mess. It also includes steps to clean the rim of the larger container to ensure a proper seal when the lid is replaced, preventing it from getting glued on by dried paint.

hack for you and it's how to pour paint out of a gallon or five gallon bucket without making a big mess or getting paint all on the bottom of the bucket or your tin. So what you want to do is always have a brush with you because that's what you're going to take and wipe up the paint from the side that gets a little bit on the side and it's how you scrape it out the top of the can. Need about a quarter of a paint in here or a pint of paint and part of it is just pouring quickly and snapping it back quickly so I want to pour it in here and then I'm just going to take and let it run out right here until it stops dripping and I'm just going to snap it back. It flicks a little bit on the side and I'm just going to wipe that off the side and I'm going to take my brush, pull it out of the top of the can, scrape it into my can. Now the top of the can is all clean so when I put my lid in there it's not going to get all sealed in there and glued on the side doesn't have any paint that's going to run down, pull along the edges so I can set it down now on my surface and I'm not going to make a big mess.
