ABSTRACT:
A tool having a handle and a blade secured to and extending transversely from one end of the handle. The tool is adapted to be manually placed in a conventional paint can with the blade near the inner surface of the bottom of the can when the can is tilted on its side to remove residual paint from the can. The blade has a flexible portion and a flat surface so that it can be moved along the inner surface of the can bottom to scrape the paint thereon toward one side wall portion when the can is tilted on its side. The flexibility of the blade allows its flat surface to remain in substantial surface-to-surface contact with the inner surface of the can bottom even though such inner surface has undulations. The handle is also flexible to permit it to bend to assure proper placement of the blade in the can near the bottom of the can. The outer periphery of the blade is curved and is complemental to the curved inner surface of the side wall of the can to assure optimum removal of paint along the side wall of the can as the tool is drawn out of the can.
