So he heads over to take a look at the can, putting the tip of the nail to the edge where he supposes it must be thinnest and starting to work the sharp point back and forth - if it would just peel away with a tab, after all, it can't be hard to create that sort of hole in the first place.

If this is the right way to do this, it certainly is slow going, though...]

...It can't be so thick or strong, can it?
