Rubber Band to Remove Excess Paint from Brush

That is such a good idea.
But, I'm wondering how to get that paint filled rubber band off of the paint can without it popping off and splattering it everywhere.

Great idea, only one thing wrong, I read this the day after I painted! LOL

Just be careful about putting the rubber band on & off!
I was painting my son's closet door black with red, yellow & orange flames. Had the doors on sawhorses & outlined the flames. I set the can of black paint on the door to put the rubber band on it. As I was stretching it from top to bottom, the rubber band slipped & flipped the can out of my hands - black paint all over the door, the floor & me! LOL! Boy what a mess. I'm so glad it was just a small can of paint!
Lesson learned-after I cleaned up my mess, I ended up having to re-sand & re-primer the door because the black showed up through the flames.
