another kind of can that works amazingly is bug spray or sun screen and it is probably the least suspicious

an easy way to get rid of all your dreg cans!!!
go to here:

buy one of these:

then follow these instructions:

it really does work...we started to try and mix paints back in the late 80's because we couldnt get pink so easily in the uk. i did do it once sucessfully, but lacked the scientific logic that these instructions on the links show.
i managed to knock about 15 / 16 dreg cans into one full 400ml can (it made an interesting pink!!)

enjoy!!

uh...there is an easier way to do this...all you need is a new can of krylon with a male adaptor and any female aerosol can...just hold the krylon can up rite and the female upside down and press down on the male adaptor...its easier and alot less messy

this does NOT work, ive tried over and over but instead of the paint runing to the other can it sprays all over the place, any tips or solutions would help

im a bit confused. can anyone give better instructions on the tube plz? should it open the valve on the empty can when pressed down? do u just cut the sides of it to put it into the other can or is it better to melt and shape it?

alright, i was just in my frnt yard doing this, it works perfectly, but if you use a gel pen tube as opposed to a mechanical pencil, it will work without cuttin the tip at all, i hold the cans vertically, without ice, it works fine for me, alright, thats my two cents, peace

Around where I live tags are equal to hand written signatures. If you are caught painting one, you are held responsible for all identical tags that are found. The police photographs and archives all tags that are found. Now, did you just post your IP address and tag to the Internets?

It s probably a good idea to hake the can of paint well. Th eice is a good idea; the other can gets warmth from being held, so pressure will be higher there. This trick can also be used to put stuff in tiny spray cans. Perhaps a nice way to carry contact cleaner - though that could be corrosive to the wrong kind of can
