I found this little gadget in "This Old House" - May 2008 Issue in the "Ask" section of the magazine. They had posted a picture of this strange little contraption with a Q: What is this? Along with 4 options which were listed as A. Earplug B. Caulk-Finishing Tool
C. Bucket Scraper and of course, the "Tah, Dah" (on the next page) D. Paint Plow. Let's just say, my guess was wrong!

A GREAT GADGET THE PAINT PLOW



This foam-rubbery contraption pushes paint out of the paint-can grooves and back into the can, so the lid fits more tightly and less paint goes to waste. The price, a mere 79 cents for further information, log onto: foampromfg.com
I will be placing an order for the Paint Plow and since painting is my passion, I will give the Plow a true test. I'll let you know if the Paint Plow holds up to it's claim!
