ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a virtually spill-proof container for use with paint or liquids of comparable viscosity. In particular, the container of the present invention comprises a receptacle having a base portion and a top portion, an insert member with a generally central aperture attached to the top portion of the receptacle, and a barrier member having a hole formed therethrough operatively connected to the insert member. The hole in the barrier member permits a user to access the liquid within the container with a brush or like instrument, while the barrier member functions like an obstruction which prevents, or minimizes, spillage should the container be tipped over or inverted. The barrier member may alternatively be constructed of an absorbent sponge or solid plastic material. A lid is also provided so that the user may conveniently open and reseal the container.
