Hey guys,I just picked up a bunch of dope in five gallon cans. I didn't consider however,how I was going to get the stuff out into smaller containers for mixing/brushing/srayingwithout making a huge mess and wasting this expensive stuff!I think they design these things to not pour, it really goes all over the placeexcept into the carefully positioned funnel underneath.I was looking for a pump like used for resins, but can't find any for five galloncans. Or maybe a screw on spout?thoughts?Douwe________________________________________________________________________________

If you can unscrew the plug, they sell at auto parts stores a valve stem with threadsand two nuts. Just drill a hole and put the stem in and tighten the nuts.Then make a spout of some sort, threaded pipe like used in a lamp and two nutsand a piece of tubing hose clamped onto it. Then pressurize the drum lightly.Very lightly and it should come out. Just be ready to push in the valve torelease the pressure to stop the flow. Very light pressure!Dennis ----- Original Message -----
