Q: How do you open a can of dry paint?

• <div><p>While <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-make-paint-dry-smoother.htm">paint drying smoothly</a> on a wall is ideal, a can full of dry paint is not. To open a can of dry paint, you&rsquo;ll need a tool with a sharp edge, such as a utility knife or a box cutter. Take your tool and score the area where the lid meets the can to break through the dried-up paint. Then, use a paint can opener or a flathead screwdriver to pry the lid open and check the state of the contents. For smaller cans with plastic lids, you can run the top under hot water to loosen the lid. </p></div>

Q: How much does it cost to replace paint?

• <div><p>If you have a can or two of paint that's past its prime, replacing it shouldn't be too expensive. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/dolla-dolla-bills-how-much-should-you-pay-can-paint.htm">A gallon of paint costs</a> an average of <b>$25</b>. You may pay more if you want a superior quality paint or if you choose oil-based paint instead of latex or acrylic. </p><p>Buying in bulk can help you save, provided you use all the paint you purchase. For example, a 5-gallon bucket of paint tends to cost less per gallon than a pint or quart-sized can.</p></div>

Q: What happens if you don’t wax chalk paint?

• <div><p>Not waxing chalk-painted furnishings leaves their surfaces susceptible to moisture damage and color fading over time.</p></div>

Q: Will repainting an interior room increase the value of the house?

• <div><p>Your <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/does-interior-paint-increase-home-value.htm">return on investment (ROI) for interior repainting</a> work is around <b>107%</b>. Repainting an interior room in your home can give it an updated look that will appeal to potential buyers.
