    Evening, hope everybody's staying healthy and relatively sane o_O

    Could get one of those pot racks and hang parts over the can in saucepan, turn on the heat and leave the room. Return when you hear a pop.

    On a serious note, have ordered the paint but couldn’t bring myself to pay more than the paint for the brush cleaner.
    Which I guess leads me back to the heated tin option.....

    Yes, as others have mentioned, make sure you warm it up first and shake vigorously before you start touching up your bits!
