Painting tips & tricks of the day

Drying paint and the temperature
Paint in a ventilated and temperate space. When temperatures are between 10C and 32C there's no risk, although 15c to 22C is ideal. Latex paint will dry in a few hours at this temperature. Oil-based paints will dry more rapidly in a warm, dry environment.

Shaking paint: inescapable...
When you buy paint, your retailer is always careful to mix it in an agitator. Old paint must also be shaken after the dried surface layer has been removed. The best "tool" to shake your old paint: a kitchen whip. Otherwise, any type of handle will do to stir in a figure 8, for a few minutes.

How much paint to buy
When it comes to calculating how many litres of paint to buy, remember that one gallon (3.78 litres) will generally cover 400 square feet. You can calculate the painted surface in square measure by multiplying depth by the width for ceilings and the height by the width for walls.
