What happens here

After squeezing paint into the tray, further recover paint by using your hand to scrape the remaining paint from the roller directly into a clean paint bucket. Position the roller over the bucket, then use your bare hand (or a gloved hand) to firmly scrape along the roller cover. This technique allows for the collection of additional paint that was not caught by the tray, which can then be saved for touch-ups or other small painting tasks.

Goal: Recover additional paint from the roller for future use

What they say

Hide

So, without a five-in-one tool, I have a hand. Save. Now, I'm going to just scrape it that into my bucket, and I got enough to finish my cut-ins. Is this a good way to save paint? Look at that. Look at all that paint coming out of the roller. Don't want to waste it.
