Pouring paint out of a 5 gallon bucket. No mess tip. Paint bucket hacks.

What happens here

Begin by slowly and carefully pouring the paint from the 5-gallon paint bucket into the cutting bucket. Once the desired amount of paint has been transferred, quickly 'snap' the 5-gallon bucket back upwards with a decisive motion to cut off the paint stream cleanly. Immediately after snapping it back, use a finger to swipe any remaining paint from the rim of the 5-gallon bucket back into the bucket. Finally, use a paint brush to further clean any small residual paint on the rim, ensuring it falls back inside the bucket.

Goal: Pour paint cleanly without drips.

What they say

Hide

doesn't drip down the sides and make a mess. So, I'm going to just begin pouring my paint into my bucket here. And then once I get it to the point where I'm done, then I'm just going to snap it back real fast like that. Swipe it with my finger just like that. And now it won't drip down the sides. Then I just take my brush and hit it just like that. Now my paint's not going to drip down the sides
