Opening a paint can safely is an important skill to have, if not for yourself, then for the world around you. For example, if you happen to be careless when opening a paint can you can very easily damage yourself (or someone near you) rather seriously. Even if you don't damage yourself or someone else, you can easily end up spilling paint all over the floor, walls, or (in cases of really exuberant openings) the ceiling. It's not all that hard to open a paint can safely, as long as you remember to follow a few simple steps.
Now that you have the paint can open, you can get to work on your project. Remember though that even if you were able to open the paint can safely, you still need to be careful. Not only can you still spill the paint in the can all too easily, you will have to store or dispose of any left overs when you are finished with your project. While paint is an extremely useful material, it can very easily cause all kinds of problems if you aren't careful.

Hi,
I have just been granted a patent for a paint can lid removal tool. Removes lid and replaces it without need to touch the lid with fingers at all. Kid never lies flat using the simple very cheap tool. As the tool fundamentally saves paint as the lid can be wiped fully, making a better seal when replacing the lid, some of the major brand names are not interested. Its a clever tool and even allows the lid to be used as a painters palette instead of decanting into another container. Patent rights also in the US and wider Europe. Just need help getting it into the public domain. Can anyone help?
Cheers
Colin
