What happens here

When pouring paint from the larger bucket into the smaller can, employ a quick pour and snap-back technique. Tilt the larger container to pour the desired amount of paint, then swiftly snap it back upright. This rapid movement helps to 'cut' the paint stream cleanly, minimizing drips. Allow any remaining drips on the pouring edge of the bucket to run out naturally into the receiving can until they stop.

Goal: Transfer paint with minimal dripping.

Tools and materials

  • Paint Bucket — Dispensing paint
  • Smaller Paint Can — Receiving dispensed paint
  • Paint — Being transferred

What they say

Hide

to take and wipe up the paint from the side that gets a little bit on the side and it's how you scrape it out the top of the can. Need about a quarter of a paint in here or a pint of paint and part of it is just pouring quickly and snapping it back quickly so I want to pour it in here and then I'm just going to take and let it run out right here until it stops dripping and I'm just going to snap it back. It flicks a little bit on the side and I'm just going to wipe that off the side and I'm going to take my brush, pull it out of the top of the can, scrape it into my can.
