Well, Ron, I cut it open yesterday and soaked it in mineral spirit overnight. I was hoping it would dissolve that wax.
It did soften it but dissolve it did not.
So I used various stuff to clean the wax out of the can and an Exacto knife to clean paper and wax from the bottom.
The results are above. First I cut at the upper depression boundary, where it expands to the rest of the can.
The thought behind it being, that I could take the can, sand it a little so the narrowing at the bottom that used to be that upper boundary where I cut will widen and the bottom cylinder will just go in, at which point it could be glued.
It will look like this (the cap has not yet been stuffed)
People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
