The repeated
opening and closing of finish and wood putty cans can leave the lids
mangled and unable to form a tight seal. A quick way to restore your
can to airtight status is to place a piece of a plastic bag over the
lid and then tap it into place. The plastic bag will act as a gasket
and help seal the air out.
Note: As your can becomes empty, more air
becomes trapped in the can with your finish or wood putty. This air
can ruin some products over time. Spraying an inert gas such as "Bloxygen"
inside before sealing can prevent this from happening..
