No More Paint Skin
If you’ve ever opted to use up some extra house paint in your garage, you’ll understand what I mean when I say “paint skin.” To keep the top layer of paint from drying out and causing a mess (leaving clumps in the paint! ), cut a circle of aluminum and set it on top of it before sealing the can.
By taking a big inhale, exhaling into the can, and swiftly shutting it, you can replace some of the oxygen with carbon dioxide. The drying process will be slowed as a result of this.
Protect Your Paint Brushes
Painting a room or a house might take days. So, while you’re waiting for those paint coats to dry, here’s a quick technique to cut down on clean-up and extend the life of your painting tools.
