Paintbrush
Overload
For a quicker and more
efficient paint job, don't overload the paintbrush or
roller. If it drips, there's too much paint.
More Paint Tips
To stop paint from dripping,
punch a few holes in the rim of the paint can. When the
brush is wiped against the edge, the paint flows back into
the can. The lid covers the holes so the paint won’t dry
out.
Before pouring paint from a can, cover the rim with
masking tape. After pouring, remove the tape -- the rim
will be clean and the cover will fit tightly.
To remove lumps from paint: cut a piece of screen to fit
the inside of the paint can. Set it on top of the paint
and let it float down to the bottom of the can. It will
take all the lumps with it, trapping them at the bottom of
the can.
When painting a room, dip a small card into the paint so
that you have the exact colour with you and can match
accessories in store.
To save partial cans of
leftover paint, fill the airspace with a lightly inflated
balloon before pressing on the lid. |
