How to Open a Tub of Paint?

It is important to be mindful of any safety issues while opening a plastic paint bucket. Make sure that the container is on an even surface and, if needed, have someone grasp it strongly for you before attempting the following steps: 

• Start by ensuring that you have a screwdriver so you can extract the lid. 

• Now, hold the bucket firmly, and insert the screwdriver at one corner, between the lid and the bucket's edge. 

• After that, press a little bit harder to elevate the screwdriver's handling end. 

• Till the lid comes loose, keep moving around the perimeter and repeat the procedure at various points. 

• Last but not least, work your way around the lid again while it is partially open. Use more pressure to remove it completely without spilling any paint.
