2 quick tips to altering recycled tins:

1- A small butane torch will take the paint off very quickly and easily.

2- A metal hammer, when used on the inside of an open tin placed on concrete, will flatten out the raised lettering with little to no effort. The weight of the hammer does 90% of the work.

Have fun!
