Gather the Supplies
What's it sound like get all the following stuff:
-Mini ziplock bag
-'>>>> Very Important Small Container For Antiseptic <<<<
-Q-tips (cotton swabs)
-Acetaminophen and Ibuprofen (In my opinion the best non-aspirins that can be take together to relive serious pain)
*Optional
-Aspirin (for heart attacks)
-Benadryl (Useful for allergies or severe allergic reactions)
BTW: If either of these things happen crush the respective medicine and put under the tongue then call 911 these are super serious (serial).
-Perscription Drugs (any you need)
-Antiseptic (look below, But hydrogen peroxide is been shown to cause scarring and to lengthen the time it takes to heal. link at bottom of page.)
-Asparagus rubber-band (any thick one will do)
-Polysporin or Bacitracin even Vaseline will work.(I don't like Neosporin)

Removing the Paint
This takes a while but is well worth it. If your altiod tin has raised portions it might not be worth it.
Take out the artificial steel-wool and go in one direction (horizontal or vertical) to produce that clean stainless steel look. This might take a while and I used paint remover and then the artificial steel-wool.
