pouring

Before *** pouring *** paint from a can, cover the rim with masking tape. After pouring, remove the tape -- the rim will be clean and the cover will fit tightly.

Peer comment(s):

agree Gayle Wallimann : Pouring because of the "bec verseur". Ease of pouring, refers to container design. Flow would be for the paint itself.
