Has anyone used this product? The lid always gets stuck shut. Is there a trick for that? (lemmy.ca)

I saw a tip for paint recently that I haven't tried yet, but it might work here too. If you get some painters tape and make a V over the top it acts as a spout and it never gets on the threads

I guarantee that tip will end in tears one day.

Just punch a couple holes in the little groove and the paint will fall back into the can.
