 Things You'll Need
 Wire Coat Hanger
Duct Tape

Tape
Fine-Tipped Paintbrush
Solution:
You can run into snags with any project and painting is no
exception. I have some simple tips that will help you out
while you are painting.
If you forgot to grab a paint stick at the store, don't
worry. Grab a wire coat hanger. Bend it in half so you
have two legs and a handle. Use that to mix the paint. I
recommend the heavier metal hangers as opposed to the
lightweight white variety.
Before you pour paint, put a strip of duct tape around the
edge of the can; then pour. Let the excess drip back
inside and remove the tape. You'll have a nice clean rim.
Prep, if you need to paint window frames it can take
forever to tape them all up. Instead try grabbing your lip
balm. Just run it around the edges of all the windows.
This will allow you to simply wipe away any drips when
you're finished.
Hard to reach corners? No problem, and no need to perch
yourself on a ladder. Tape a fine tipped paintbrush to an
extension pole and use it to access those out of reach
areas. If a hard to reach spot is a ceiling line try
taping a chisel-tip foam brush for nice clean edge. |
