1. Is there a source for me to buy caulking gun type tube empties that I can use to fill my own stuff?

1. There must be a better container for the gallon cans of paint. The groove between the lid and the can is a natural trap for paint spills. Once that dries it really creates many problems - stuck lids that lead to metal mutilation that lead to "skins" , paint flakes in the paint, semi dried paint, etc. One easy solution will be for a Dollar Store to carry resilient plastic replacement paint can covers. Now if only some businessman can get a China manufacturer to produce that.

Save the ones you use...since no one saves them...empty, swap out and chunk in the garbage.. No..not that I am aware of....

Umm...I have about 50 of them....been around for quite a while...some even have a neat little lip that you can use to pour the paint when you pull the lid back.. Got them at my local hardware store about 10 years ago.....

Always store partially used cans of paint upside down. The paint seals the can. No skins, no semi-dried paint.

Use a nail starter to punch a few holes in the groove before you start painting. Almost no paint remains trapped as it drains back into the can. Add a sheet of plastic wrap before resealing the lid, and as suggested above- store upside down.
