Hi Bill, If you want to use the can to store unused paint, using a screw driver to open the can can do damage to the lip that will seal the can. However after closing the can, turning the can over will seal the can. Sort of like using tire sealant to repair a leak. Be sure ythough to store the can with the lid on top. Dont ask why I know <G> To open the becket I use an awl to open the becket a little,then a sturdy screw driver.
