Your approach to finding the total surface area of the cylindrical container is generally correct. However, there is a small error in your calculations. Let's go through the steps together to ensure accuracy.

1. **Identify the dimensions**:
- Diameter = 36 mm, so the radius \( r \) is:
\[
r = \frac{36 \text{ mm}}{2} = 18 \text{ mm}
\]
- Height \( h = 18 \text{ mm} \)

2. **Surface Area Formula**:
The formula for the total surface area \( S \) of a cylinder is:
\[
S = 2\pi r (r + h)
\]

3. **Plugging in the values**:
\[
S = 2 \times 3.14 \times 18 \times (18 + 18)
\]
Simplifying inside the parentheses:
\[
S = 2 \times 3.14 \times 18 \times 36
\]

4. **Calculating step by step**:
First, calculate \( 18 \times 36 \):
\[
18 \times 36 = 648
\]
Now plug this back into the expression:
\[
S = 2 \times 3.14 \times 648
\]
Calculate \( 2 \times 3.14 \):
\[
2 \times 3.14 = 6.28
\]
Now multiply by 648:
\[
S = 6.28 \times 648
\]
Performing the multiplication:
\[
S \approx 4074.24 \text{ square millimeters}
\]

5. **Final Result**:
The total surface area of the cylindrical container is approximately \( 4074.24 \, \text{mm}^2 \).

Your initial calculation of \( 4069.92 \) mm² was slightly off. The correct surface area, when calculated accurately, is approximately \( 4074.24 \) square millimeters.

Let’s go through the calculations again step by step to ensure we get the correct answer for the surface area of the cylindrical container.

### Given Parameters:
- **Diameter**: 36 mm
- **Radius \( r \)**:
\[
r = \frac{\text{Diameter}}{2} = \frac{36 \, \text{mm}}{2} = 18 \, \text{mm}
\]
- **Height \( h \)**:
\[
h = 18 \, \text{mm}
\]

### Surface Area Formula:
The surface area \( S \) of a cylinder is given by the formula:
\[
S = 2\pi r (r + h)
\]

### Plugging in the Values:
1. Substitute \( r \) and \( h \) into the formula:
\[
S = 2\pi \times 18 \times (18 + 18)
\]
This simplifies to:
\[
S = 2\pi \times 18 \times 36
\]

2. Calculate \( (r + h) \):
\[
r + h = 18 + 18 = 36
\]

3. Substitute back into the formula:
\[
S = 2\pi \times 18 \times 36
\]

### Calculate Step by Step:
1. Calculate \( 2 \times 18 = 36 \):
\[
S = 36\pi \times 36
\]
2. Now calculate \( 36 \times 36 = 1296 \):
\[
S = 1296\pi
\]
3. Using \( \pi \approx 3.14 \):
\[
S = 1296 \times 3.14 \approx 4071.84 \text{ mm}^2
\]

### Final Result:
Therefore, the total surface area of the cylindrical container is **approximately** \( 4071.84 \, \text{mm}^2 \).
