What is the best way to store DiamondFinish Clear after you open the can?

Dispense a working amount of DiamondFinish Clear into a separate container (steel or glass is best) and seal the original can immediately. Keep the can groove free of paint by using a scoop or KBS Paint Spout. Use plastic wrap between the lid and the top of the can to prevent metal-to-metal contact — DiamondFinish Clear can permanently seal the lid if left in direct contact. Unused paint should NEVER be returned to the original can as it will shorten shelf life and cause pressure build-up that may pop the lid. If you have trouble resealing the lid tightly, transfer and store DiamondFinish Clear in a proportionally sized clean glass jar or new paint can. Always store in a cool, dry place.

⚠ Never Return Unused Paint to the Can

Contaminated paint causes pressure build-up and significantly shortens the shelf life of the entire can. Always dispense only what you need into a separate container.

When storing for an extended period, hold the can lid and plastic wrap closely above the open can and spray KBS Paint Saver toward the side of the can to avoid splashing. Spray for 2 seconds for quarts or smaller, and 4 seconds for gallons. KBS Paint Saver displaces oxygen and moisture, extending the storage life of your DiamondFinish Clear.

💡 Pro Tip: KBS Paint Saver Spray Timing

Hold the lid and plastic wrap just above the can opening before spraying to minimize splashing. Quarts & smaller = 2 seconds. Gallons = 4 seconds.
