Hello all -

A few months back I bought some 4 oz paint cans and filled them with Permagloss and Lumiseal. It worked like a charm. That is a great tip.

I am about to run out of the Permagloss and was wondering - can I reuse this can with my next 4 oz bottle? Or should I start with a fresh new can?

Anyone have any experience reusing these things? Thanks!

Bill

I've never been able to get them to reseal properly after prying the lid off. For the price of a can and the amount of time it buys you, I'd get a fresh can.

Roger that. Thanks!

Just for future info: If and when you start a new can for permaglos, wrap the threads with plumbers teflon tape before you put the lid back on . This will give you a better seal and removal will be that much easer.
I'm sorry I just realized you guys use the 1/2 pint cans with the press on lids. I use a small screw on top can , the same as used for rubber cement. I get clean cans and remove the brush from the lid before filling. Very cheap, from American Scientific Supply.
Note: The correct name of the company is: American Science & Surplus
