Grab a paint box (or, any box you want to use) and follow these steps

Step 4 – Push small object through each of the post holes to create a small hole (allen wrench works perfect)

Step 5 – Remove inner feed opening that was traced onto box

Step 6 – Place base onto top plate and line up posts with post holes made on box

Step 7 – Firmly push Pit Buddy onto box, making sure the posts go all the way through and it sits flush with bottom of box

Step 8 – Turn over and place on table, lining up back edge of Pit Buddy with edge of table

Step 9 – Push posts of clamp into side of box and secure clamp to table (do not over-tighten); repeat for other side of box

Step 10 – Put paint in box and fill pods

Step 1 - Remove Pit Buddy from box
