Often you can pull up the lid (still closed) by those half circles.

<p>I have a giant unopened bucket of HTR 386 resin, but I don't know what this plastic half-circle thing is on the top of the lid</p>

<p>It's surrounded by a solid metal circle, and the plastic half-circles lift up a little at the sides, but that seems to be all.</p>
<p>I've contacted the company, but no response yet.</p>
<p>Does anyone have any ideas?</p>

(Asked by: username_0 on 2023-01-24)

I have a giant unopened bucket of HTR 386 resin, but I don't know what this plastic half-circle thing is on the top of the lid

[![resin bucket lid](https://i.sstatic.net/9MRrG.jpg)](https://i.sstatic.net/9MRrG.jpg)

It's surrounded by a solid metal circle, and the plastic half-circles lift up a little at the sides, but that seems to be all.

I've contacted the company, but no response yet.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks!

The lid to the pouring spout :) I know them from cans of turpentine. Those two plastic semi-circles can be lifted to give a better grip when unscrewing the lid.
