This is great, much better than my typical method of accidentally kicking the full can down the stairs.
Cracked up 😂
😆Down the stairs, eh? I specialize in a type of can punt, wherein it flies in to the wall 🙄
I did that around midnight in a then illegal state of mind listening to the large full of paint bounce down the stairs in slow motion thinking so far so good till it got to the bottom then a sound I never heard before but imediatley recognised and there was the content all over the carpet. Nah, rolled another one covered the lot with wet newspapers so it wouldn't dry and went to bed. Next morning thought about how to rescue the carpets then came up with the idea. Went to hire place and hired wet carpet cleaner that soaks and sucks at the same times with the provided detergents............. Couldn't believe it worked and the machine didn't get wrecked. Happy days.
You should make a DIY video to share that method with the rest of us 😂
🤣
Thank you for not making this a 15 minute long video.
Good tip. One additional note...even on a new can of paint, wipe the top rim with a paper towel before you stick the tape on it. Mine had enough residue that the tape didn't stick well and it leaked. Wiping the rim and sealing the tape with good thumb pressure made it leak proof!
That's a great idea!
À111 turn on the floor in the dining room cuz they're under
Thank you!
@Dave Jones
I believe they're talkin about a paint can not an old Ho .
@Dave Jones 😂
After 50 years of painting you come along with a tip that is so easy to use and one that solves a major problem that I have had in the past. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
Well, better luck next time. Thanks for playing!
I learn something new every day!
Mfanawemkosi Fakudze and thats why some pleople do the grunt work while others do the thinking
Well. You aren’t a tradesman.
@@robert9407why?
I have been professionally repairing house for a long time, including painting too. This tip in pouring paint out is the simplest and best trick in preventing an outcome I have ever seen. Thanks.
I’ve been decorating for over 40 years and only now find this genius idea!
This was seriously one of the best tips I've seen over the years on TH-cam.
It's always been a pain in the butt dealing with paint getting on the rim of the can - or, on the side of the can - while pouring into a smaller can or paint tray.
The nail-hole in the trough on the can's rim never quite works.
And, lastly, your solution keeps most - if not all - paint from clogging up the rim which in turn will create a better seal when placing the lid back on the can. This will undoubtedly make your paint last significantly longer.
Again, many thanks.
50 yrs 7th generation painter just learned something awesome thank you sir
7 generations in 50 years?!? dammmmmn, your family be fuuuckin!
I've been painting 50 yrs not 7 gens in 50 yrs
Many thanks from a UK viewer. I have been filling the can rim and losing paint down the side of the can for 45 years, literally right up to the present day. This tip is genius! Thank you for sharing it.
And the crusty paint that forms around the lid and then falls into your paint is a ballache!
I wish I had been shown this 40 years ago. Genius yet so simple. Thank you.
I have worked with many professional painters, and yet this is the first time I have seen this. I love this idea, Simple and effective. Thanks for sharing.
Great example of sharing something relatively simple that can actually help a lot of people! Can't wait to try this, thanks for sharing.
I’ve been avoiding a task of transferring paint from a gallon to a smaller container and really procrastinating. I feel encouraged now. ❤
Just what I was looking for. Now I won’t have to worry about the lid making a tight seal
Just what I was looking for. Thank you. My current painters tape is only about an inch wide so I'll just double up on it and make it wider to do this and make it work. No matter how much I try not to make a mess while pouring or anything to do with painting I do make a mess. But I'm going to try this method.
I am just a DIY home renovator but my local paint store gave me a contractor account years ago because I paint so often. I have been trying to figure out how to not wreck the cans for so many years and tried this a few days ago and just came back to say thank you!!! It's not like I don't have tape handy and this made cleanup so much easier.
Absolutely great. Now, a tip for you that I came up with myself. Never seen it anywhere. When you choose your color, get an extra of the paint swatch sample cards. Be sure to mark your exact color and put it behind the entry door switch plate cover when you reinstall the plate. That way you’ll always have the brand and exact to match any time in the future. If you can’t get the same brand, the store can color match off the color square
That’s a great idea Chuck. Many thanks. I’ll use that one myself! 😀👍☘️
That is a good tip too. But if you do that, then you must remember you did it and where you put it. LOL My problem would be remembering.
That’s why you put it behind the switch plate cover. You’ll always remove the cover so it will be obvious and never get lost.
Paint a bit of the lid, so you can see, how it looks, once it's dry, as lomg as you have the paint. The cards aren't always acurate, especially after time.
Even better… I write the info on the top of the door leading into the room… on every door in the house. 🚪
Now this is what TH-cam should be used for. Thanks for the tip. 👍
Man! I tried this today on a 4 litre paint can, it worked just perfectly, I cannot thank you enough for this simple yet brilliant solution. Not a drip was lost. Thanks for posting this 😀
Well, that just worked super well for me!! Thank you!! Some more helpful hints... Press the tape securely onto the rim. If you're pouring into a tray and you don't have a brush handy, I'd have the trash bin or a box nearby and place some cardboard or drop cloth down just in case. The mind acts stupid and tends to overact making more of a mess when paint starts dripping.
Glad you enjoyed this video. Please smash that like button and share this video and we can continue to make more like it. :)
Why? It's water-based.
I love this tip. Thank you, it's a great idea, simple but effective. I purchased these vinyl things that attach to the groove in the can but I have to either remove it to put the top on so the paint on the inside of the can where you poured it out doesn't dry or put a damp rag over the whole thing. Then you remove it when your done it is another thing that you need to clean.
Great bit of advice. A simple but effective way to avoid a messy paint can. I've been using the snap on plastic lip attachments which require the extra step of needing to be washed. Your approach is easier as you just throw the tape away. I'll try it the next time I paint. Thanks.
Ditto! I found those snap on spouts and loved them but, from job to job, I usually lose one. So simple.
Geez, you win the internetz. This has got to be the most useful tip I've seen yet on any video that I can actually use. Thank you!
I've watched a million things on tips and this was one of the best
Best simple painters tip I've ever seen!!!
Just tried it. Works just like he shows! Perfection.
I can't believe it. So simple. This guy just made my life so much better. Thank you.
Brilliant! Thank you so much, I was making too much of a mess everywhere!
Easy and in my whole life I never figured this out. Great work.
Brilliant
Thank you so much for sharing this excellent hack! I've been doing some painting recently, and had forgotten how to keep the paint from going everywhere and some when pouring. 👍
Great tip. Simple, it works, and uses commonly available products in garage/shop. Well done!
Glad you enjoyed this tip!
Thank you for this solution we can utilized for years to come.
Simplicity in most this are usually the best.
This worked so well! No mess at all.
I just did this! It was PERFECT! (Make sure your tape is stick really good to the rim / especially the inside rim. LOVE THIS ❤🤗
BEAUTIFUL! Just what I needed.
This will be my routine from now on. Thanks, this is a great idea to solve a pesky problem that ruins label information and worse, rusts the can lip
Thanks, I never thought about doing this. I have always made a few holes inside the rim with a hammer and a nail. Any paint that gets in there runs back into the tin. It keeps it cleaner and you can shut the lid.
The plastic paint cans now being used are not as easy to use the nail holes in the rim method anymore. I used to do that myself. This tape method looks like a real winner.
Oh my word! So simple. I'll be doing this Sunday with a primer I need to apply. Thank you so much!
Great idea! Thank you for taking the time to put this together and sharing.
You're a scholar and a saint.
Thank you! This comes second only to tying my shoes wrong for over 40 years, until I saw a video about square knot vs. granny knot. Seriously, I'm getting that masking tape today!
This was the perfect tip that I needed and was looking for because I won’t be using the whole gallon of paint at once and was concerned about closing the lid with no mess. This was the first video that came up in my search and low and behold it’s Danny Lipford from today’s homeowner and I listen to the show every weekend on the radio and its very enjoyable and educational. That’s an automatic subscribe and like from me! Thanks!
Tried it today on a quart can. Worked great. Many thanks.
If I'm using a roller tray I put that inside of bin liner then when I finished throw the bin liner away no dirty paint tray
This is such a clean technique than punching holes along the rim of the can. Thank you.
Good useful tip!
Everyone loves a nice clean rim!!
I did this even with a 5gal bucket. Game changer. Thank you works great. I only had duck tape works too
I was just wondering how it worked on a 5 gallon bucket because I have deck paint that I wanted to use tomorrow and I saw this little tidbit by putting a little tape on it to have like a little spout so perfect thanks for the advice
Have painted for 20 years & never thought of it.👍👍👍
Thanks. This has always driven me nuts.
I knew there was a hack for this, but couldn't remember what it was. Glad your video came up first and that it was short and to the point. Thank you kindly!
I watched many videos out there on TH-cam for 5 minutes and up but don't make any sense .this is the best video I ever watched.great idea,and thumb up.👍
So simple yet so smart.
I knew there had to be a better way to do this!! Thanks for proving me right. Your Video is excellent - right to the point and exactly what I was looking for. Thank you so so much for helping me manage my frustration with the “paint pour” 😃
Thank you for the great tip. Simple and effective. I like it!
Heck ya! This is fantastic. Cannot stand the mess of painting and this will help a lot.
Just adding to the chorus of praise. Many thanks!
great tip. Only a home handyman, but never too old to learn. Thank you.
One of those crazy simple but creative solutions you cant believe you didn't think of before. :-) Thank you so much!
So simple! I never thought to even ask if there was a better way to pour paint until a day or so ago.
Nice 👍, now I can show this video to my guys, always cans dripping. Your videos r helpful for guys like me that r starting with a small painting company thanks. Lots of blessings 🙏🙏
Genius, and in only 81 seconds! Thank you!
Thank you. This changed my life for the better!
It's always good to have a nice clean rim
Simple but brilliant idea.
I KNEW there was a simple trick for keeping paint cans clean! Thank you for showing us all simply and QUICKLY! To all the painters out there who want to show me how to easily pour the paint, and keep a paint brush and rag handy to wipe the can - we're looking for the alternative to that, because that's the messy thing we already do. - STOP and learn from Danny.
I only have 1 word for you: GENIUS.
I’m 65 years old and never knew this. Thanks for making painting not such a bad job.
Great tip. So confident to pour the paint while wearing a nice purple shirt, BEAST!
Thank you! I knew there had to be a way without buying fancy plastic spouts.
This is one of those "gee, why the hell didn't I think of that?" moments! Thank you for such a great tip!
I looked everywhere on the internet as I am cursed with this habit of overthinking everything! This seems like the perfect solution as my can of brown stained oil is not something I want to spill anywhere and I don’t want to dip my brush in the main container either. Thanks a million.
Happy to see our video was helpful! Best of luck on your next project!🙂
Your not alone overthinking everything haha
Daniel, that is a very comforting thought...nice to know one is not alone.
Excellent tip. It is simple but sure saves a lot of headaches later.
OMG..... this is so simple and very usefull.... thank you very much
Danny is the man, old handyman here and glad this old dog just learned a new trick.
Amazing! No more putting nail holes in the rim, and having paper towels around to wipe off the mess. Thank you.
YOU ARE A GENIUS! Why didn't somebody show me this years ago.
This is genius. You made my day.
So simple, yet brilliant. I’ll be using this great tip from now on! Saves all that time wasted on cleaning the rim after pouring. Thank you for posting. Great tip!!! Best regards from Northern Ireland in the Giant’s Causeway Coast. 😀👍☘️
You just saved me both time and money. Thank you
This is worth a Nobel Prize!
Absolute GOLD. Thanks for this.
Glad you enjoyed this video. Please smash that like button and share this video and we can continue to make more like it. :)
short, sweet & simple.
Genius! It keeps from having to buy the pour spouts! Great share!
Another tip is I always use a magic marker to Mark the lid and the rim so it goes back on at the same place that you took it off of. That may sound silly but it makes a difference believe me and I'm talking about a clean rim and lid it still makes a difference to get a perfect seal
Brilliant,thank you.
Nice. Old man always made me make sure the seal area was clean. Cans stayed good way longer.
Great idea! Love it! I was on the way to ACE or another hardware store to buy one of those plastic spouts that clip on to a paint can. YOUR tip can be used with a quart, pint, or gallon can easily! Thanks for the idea. You saved me a bit of $
Not only saved you $, but this tip is even better than buying a spout.
I recently found the price of those had more than doubled. Used to be $1.98 now close to $5. Someone is feathering their nest on those.
Thanks a lot! Right in time before my upcoming paint job next week.
10/10. So simple yet perfect. Thanks alot
Brilliant. I'm going to use this when pouring contact cement!
Brilliant tip! So often the dried paint on the tin obscures the usage and clean-up instructions impeding use at a later date.
Thank-you, Thank-you, Thank-you, Thank-you, !!!!
That is the coolest thing I have ever seen. I will be using that trick; thank you
I wished I'd seen this before I began painting my garage. This is great, thanks!
Simple and GENIUS !!!! Thank you for sharing!!
I actually thought of this on my own, but watching your video solidifies my idea. Excellent video, short and to the point. I did not think about the great idea you had about overlapping to create a dove tail pour spout.Thank you.
Anytime!
I was thinking cutting a grove in the middle, but yhe two tapes is a lot easier. Case closed.!
genius!!! I wish I had know about this 30 years ago!
Jus tried it. Works like a champ!
