Paint dribbling down the side of a tin of paint and on to the floor or on to the counter if you are working in the kitchen can really be messy. You catch those drips by using this tip. First of all make the lid nice and tight then invert the can over, take masking tape and you are going to make two loops. First all you make the first loop and tearing off the masking tape by using the sharp edge of the roll and make the first loop. And take that loop and put it on the bottom of the thin and I will take another one and we will make it a loop and making across in the bottom of the thin. Now take the thin of paint and set on top of the paper plate just like that. Now you pick up the can of paint along comes your drip catcher that way you not going to have any mess what so ever on the floor or on the counter.
