Bloxygen
This is the secret that the paint companies don’t want you to know. Using ultra-pure inert gas, Bloxygen (for “Blocks Oxygen”) can be used to preserve your leftover finishes so you can use every drop. No more waste, no more crust, no more hazardous waste. Just spray Bloxygen, seal, and store your leftover finishes as long as you want. Normally, during storage the oxygen or moisture that’s sealed in the container continues to cure and thicken your stored product, ruining the left-overs. This is wasteful, time-consuming, and messy. Sometimes, hardened particles can clog spray guns, run the final finish, or destroy the remaining liquid. Patented and made in the USA, each can of Bloxygen can prevent 75 quarts from oxygen or moisture damage.
By using a heavy blanket of protective inert gas to purge the container, you can store your finish safely and use it all, not just the first half. Uses: oil-based paint, stain, oil-based inks, varnish, urethane, polished metals, polyurethane—basically, anything that is sensitive to damage from oxygen or moisture. Visit bloxygen.com.

The Scrigit Scraper
The Scrigit Scraper is a versatile pen-shaped, non-scratch cleaning tool that provides a safe, quick and convenient way to remove small amounts of unwanted substances from household and automotive surfaces, edges and grooves. The Scrigit Scraper can be used instead of fingernails and metal tools to quickly clean off small areas of unwanted substances, such as grime, caulk, putty, candle wax, latex paint splatters, dried food, adhesive stickers, labels and tape. The tool is two scrapers in one. A rounded tip simulates the effective scraping shape of a fingernail and is great for scraping off small spots, cleaning curved surfaces, and removing adhesive labels, stickers and tape. A flat-edged tip is best for getting into tight spaces and cleaning off unwanted materials from flat surfaces, edges, corners and door tracks. It is a useful tool to keep in your pocket and toolbox for all types of home-improvement and maintenance projects. Made in the USA of a durable plastic resin that easily washes clean and won’t conduct electricity, the Scrigit Scraper is available in 2-packs and 5-packs at many independent hardware stores and at Amazon.com.
