Just curious, what do you use to get paint from the can to a mixing cup. I've been using a 2 oz. dipper thing that I found in a weight gaining powder container. I don't like to pore it, gets all over everything. I've cleaned that dipper 4 dozen times with lacquer thinner, doesn't seem to hurt it.

I too really like the $0.99 can spouts too. See, John thinks they're a lot of work but you have to remember he's just a cranky old guy who's become a slacker in his 'experienced age.' :D

John knows I'm just busting his chops, he's an extraordinarily nice guy and has helped me out a lot in the past.

Back to the topic at hand, when I'm finished with my spout I wipe the majority of the paint off with a dry paper towel, and then just wipe it down with a rag saturated with lacquer thinner and this cleans it right up. The trick getting the bulk of the paint with the dry paper towel first
