I have a few 1Z Polishes that are running low and I would like to remove them from the cans and put into plastic squeeze bottles. I thought about placing the cans in hot water to make the polish easier to pour out of the can but I am no chemist and do not know if heating up the polish will ruin it.

Does anyone have an easy way to remove the polish from the can?

Here is a picture of one of the cans in question.

Cut the bottom off with a can opener then scoop out?

I don't think it would be a problem as long as the water isn't too hot. That might cause some denaturing.

I have the same exact product, can is in the exact same shape, dented.

I still have plenty in my can but my plan is to use a can opener on the bottom, and use a spatula to get it all out. Great product, poor packaging. Good luck.
