My family thinks I’m crazy because they know I love to paint. I’d be mighty pleased to get a really nice brush that’s a good edger for Christmas or birthdays, but alas… I always get stuck with flavorful candles. So I’ll just drool over web sites like this one that offer great painting tips.
Coat hanger catches excess paint
Cut the bottom section from a stiff wire coat hanger and bend it so each end straddles the rim to fit inside a paint can. Let the wire overlap the sides and tape it to the can to keep it steady when you rub off the excess paint. When the job’s finished, remove the wire and wipe it clean to be ready for next time.
If you click through, you’ll love what they say about yucky tape that gets disgusting!
