What happens here

Before beginning to pour, always have a paint brush readily available. This brush will be used for two primary purposes: wiping any paint that gets on the side of the larger container and scraping paint off the top rim of the container. The goal is to transfer about a quart or a pint of paint into a smaller paint can for easier use.

Goal: Gather tools and assess paint quantity for transfer.

Tools and materials

  • Paint Brush — Wiping paint and scraping the rim of the container
  • Paint Bucket — Holding the bulk paint (gallon or five-gallon size)
  • Smaller Paint Can — Receiving the poured paint

What they say

Hide

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
