Slide a rubber band over the open can so it stretches top to bottom across the open can. Then, when you pull the brush out of the paint wipe the bottom against the rubber band each time to avoid unnecessary drips. This works especially well on smaller cans without handles. The rubber band keeps the entire can neater and it makes the lid a lot easier to put on when the job is complete.
When painting interior walls, you’ll eliminate a lot of backbreaking labor by mounting your roller on an extension pole. You won’t have to bend over to load the roller, and you won’t have to spend as much time on a ladder. And by standing away from the wall as you work, it is easier to see any missed areas.
Before dipping a brush in paint, dip it into water (for water based paints) or paint thinner (for oil-based paints) and spin out the excess. This wets the bristles in the ferrule (the metal base) and prevents paint from building up in there, which makes cleanup easier and extends the brush’s life.
