If you only have only one spray can, you may want to practice this technique on the top of a soda or beer can. To cut it open, place the can opener onto the bottom edge, so that the blade is just barely under the lip. This will ensure that the seam isn’t visible on the finished product. Begin cutting along the bottom edge. Make sure to go slowly, stay as close the lip as possible, and use only the amount of force absolutely necessary. The cut should be very smooth. Once the bottom is off, rinse out and dry the inside of the can. You should also sand the lower inside portion to prep it for gluing later on in the process.
