** sorry! There’s a picture posted now!**I’ve tried like wiping it dry and even using mineral spirits on it
Are you not wiping down after use?
I keep a rag with a bit of thinner on it to wipe up excess. Never had it stick. The only thing I have trouble with in that regard is the quick drying stuff, but that's not this.
I mean I am no wood worker but it looks like there is product all over the threads, just wipe of the threads before you put the cap on ?
Same problem for me with that product. I've just resigned myself to having to use vice grips to open it.
Channellocks or a strap wrench might serve better.
Look this other user said petroleum jelly can fix it
I’ve tried several things to prevent it, since this is my go-to finish for simple projects. None worked, now I just keep a channel lock handy.
Shooot ! So annoying
Also my tip, channel lock pliers 🤣
Look this other user says petroleum jelly can fix it
I saw a tip for paint recently that I haven't tried yet, but it might work here too. If you get some painters tape and make a V over the top it acts as a spout and it never gets on the threads
I guarantee that tip will end in tears one day.
Just punch a couple holes in the little groove and the paint will fall back into the can.
Not seeing a picture, sorry fellow lemming!
Woops! Got one now. Can you look again?
I see it now! Sorry to come back a week later.
Some of it must have splattered onto this post... I can't see which product you're talking about.
Got something similar, I tested Teflon tape, it's actually dissolving, but I got (don't ask me where I got it from) thin paper tape, I do one layer over the threads, still gotta replace it every 3 or 4 times I open the lid - whatever, works so far for me. Just test some stuff, I'd recommend. Stay away from plastic tape, it could dissolve. Maybe a drop of oil on the threads? I'll try it, it came into my mind right now.
Guessing it might be a bottle of titebond ... If it is take a look at glubot
