I was doing a little painting today and thought I would pass along a little trick that I do to all paint cans that I open. It only takes a minute and saves a lot of aggravation. Who hasn't tried to open a paint can that was previously opened after sitting a long time and the can's lid is glued shut with old paint? All you do is take a large nail and punch holes around the bottom lip of the can about one inch apart. This way, the paint that gets in the can's lip will simply drip back into the can...viola! No more stuck lids!

Yep! I use this tip -- and Behr paint -- regularly!
