Adding Paint to Coffee

Handy Paint PailI love a good entrepreneurial story. Take this coffee can as an example. In 2001, an enterprising fellow named Mark Bergman devised this can to help him with his painting chores. Not long after, the can underwent some cosmetic and utilitarian refinement and evolved into the hugely successful Handy Paint Pail. A clever magnetic holder keeps your brush wet and in place right in the pail. That means no more tell-tale trails of paint showing where you walked while painting. An adjustable strap cuts down on hand fatigue. The rim makes for a handy paint scraper, resulting in a mess-free, or at least mess-less project! They even make liners for the pail that are 100 percent recycled. Available at Home Depot and a load of other home improvement retailers. Ace Hardware carries them online for about $12.

I would recommend just buying the liners. They are like 5 for $1.

Love the pail and really needed the info on liners. The body and interior of the Pail clean up latex nicely, but the rubber on lip retains every little bit. Any clue to an easy solution to clean up rather than buy liners?

Thanks
