Painter Tips
--To soften hard paintbrushes:
Put them in HOT vinegar for a few minutes. Then wash the
brush in soap and warm water and set out to dry.
--Paint storage:
Store partially full cans of paint upside down! The paint
will form an airtight seal, extending its useful life.
--Straining dirty paint:
If your paint appears lumpy or contains debris, stretch a
pair of panty hose over the top of a clean bucket and
strain the paint by pouring it through the hose.
(Good ole panty hose to the rescue again! It's becoming
almost as versatile as baking soda or vinegar!)
