>>2981025>Store your paint cans upside downDo you ever get any catastrophic leakage like from the cans getting warm and popping the lids off enough for them to seep badly all over your shelves? Makes sense that it would keep the solvents from evaporating out upwards.
>>2981028I've got a small leakage right after storing the can upside down, but it usually stops after one day or so.But my paint cans are not stored in a place where it gets very hot. So... I don't know

Protip- if you have shakey hands, take a shot or two before you stick a probe into a 480V contactor and bridge the 24V and a 277V leg and fry a bunch of stuff on the 24V control circuit.

>>2986471Well the 480V stuff is fun as I’m learning. 120V residential is a little spark if you short something. 480V gives you a nice pop and welded those connectors to the contactor instantly.
