When closing your paint can, cover the opening with plastic wrap and then place the lid on the paint can and hammer it shut with a rubber mallet. This avoids damage to the lid and creates a tight seal on the paint can, making it less susceptible to changes in the air around it. You can also save yourself some trouble later on by painting a line on the side of the paint can at the level the paint reaches inside the can. That way, when you go back to the can for touch-ups, you’ll know exactly what color is in each can and how much paint remains. In the event that you do have to dispose of your paint, be sure to do so safely, as many kinds of paint are considered to be hazardous waste. Lowe’s recommends mixing latex paint with cat litter, allowing it to dry and then throwing away the can. When it comes to oil-based paint, check resources like PaintCare for nearby recycling facilities or Earth911 for hazardous waste drop-off points. Things You Will Need
