I have a paint can that leaked & now the paint can is stuck to the floor. I need to know the best way to unstick the paint can
i would knock it off with a golf club
Dynamite. Its the only way.
Try a real thin spackle knife & lightly tap around the perimeter & it will eventually come loose. The can has probably rusted & you don't want to hit it too hard, keep some rags handy when you do this.
What is your floor made of? The material of the floor will have bearing on what type of product you put on it. Using a single razor scraper, try to loosen the bond between the can and the floor. I'd try to scrape up as much dry paint as possible first, then, again depending on the material of the floor apply some turpentine, acetone, or mineral spirits to a clean rag and try to clean up as much as you can. You can also clean the floor, after most of the paint is up, with Murphy's Oil Soap. MOS should be safe for both wood and vinyl floors.
