He doesn't drag it out like so many others do. BRAVO!
That comb on that paintbrush is BRILLIANT!
The best part is it gets the paint out on the inside of the bristles, the part that doesn't get cleaned as often.
@@GoodlyEarth Paint stores sell 'real' brush combs and real painters don't use paint combs to clean there brushes. After you use a wire brush to do your preliminary cleaning of the paint on the outside of the brush you stream water down into the bristles until it's clean and spin it in the sink by placing the handle between your hands and rub your hands back and forth to cause the brush to spin/expel the water left in it. THEN you use a brush comb to straighten the fibers before you store it. Recommend you let it air dry before placing it back in it's protective cover.
That pringles can and the aluminum foil trick is genius. Subscribed.
I don't think I've ever been hit with so many useful tips back-to-back like that lol. And I'm not even a painter although I do like to diy everything.
I started to get a little scared, when does it end,, soooo many things!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAH
That first guy with the painting tips was amazing!!
Yah, he's a pretty cool guy
An old timer showed me a trick to keep skin from forming on top of the paint. Before putting the lid back on the can, you breathe into the can a few times and then cover it quickly and hammer down the lid. The Carbon Dioxide that you breathe out displaces the oxygen in the space between the paint and the inside of the lid. I've opened old cans of paint 2-3 years later and never had skin or dry paint.
@@kimbuck2177 If you did all that then you shouldnt be painting. Sounds like TWISTER is more your speed🤣
Sounds like the old timer might have been getting high on paint fumes. Your breath tends to rise when you breath out due to it being warmer than the ambient air temperature, and even at room temperature carbon dioxide doesn't fall, it disperses evenly throughout the air.
WOW. JUST WOW!!!
@@kimbuck2177 🤣🤣🤣
@@Richard.Sanchez Exhaled air is only about 4% carbon dioxide. Rest is basically oxygen.
40 year painter. I run new roller covers under water, then spin them out. When I’m done painting, I rinse most of the paint out and store them in a few inches of waterin a bucket with a cover. Next use just spin them again and ready to go. They last for months.
I never paint out of the can, or wipe the brush like you do with the rubber band. Paint will travel up the brush and dry out near the ferrule. I use a small pot, dip the brush and tap the sides of the pot. It also keeps the brush loaded with paint. When you wipe it, you remove paint from the brush. And the whole objective is getting paint from the can to the surface.
And I use a wire brush to clean latex brushes, then comb them out.
Every one has their little tricks, and it depends on location and type of painting job you’re doing.
its fine to have paint on the outside of the brush if you're just going to spread it out, but if you want to paint a straight line its best to remove the paint on the outside of the brush and use the paint that's inside the brush. otherwise when you try to cut in a straight line the paint on the outside of the brush will be likely to form a lump of paint on your line that you than have to try and pull back from the line. otherwise you end up with a lumpy edge.
The best paint tips I ever heard and ALL of them are beneficial. 🎯🎯🎯
I work at a paint store and I do appreciate almost all of the paint tips. Most people don't seem to clean the lip and when putting the plastic on, it usually ends up getting in the way of a proper seal.
The rubber band idea blew my mind, tho
Only thing I really took issue with, was masking a doorknob with aluminum foil. First of all, it absolutely won't work. Second, if you're painting a door without taking off the hardware, just put the paint down and hire a professional, please...
Bob Ross has reincarnated.
@@mschenandlerbong8539 nice account name
another trick for painting around things like knobs and ceiling fixtures without taping is a simple coat of chapstick along the edge because the paint wont stick to it.
Aww that's so cute he let his Grandmother do some tips too! 🙋♀
30 yrs as a carpenter and i picked up a couple tricks from this... good stuff man
Brilliant! Love the rubber band!
This man is The Tipster! Much obliged.
I'm not a painter but it's always good to see tips for everything.
Paint tips were amazing! Others will come in handy too. Thanks for sharing!
Amazing, especially the vanilla in paint
Every now and again you come across a video that tells you things you probably should have already found out but haven't....BRILLIANT
Wow. So many good tips in 2 minutes and then more!
Probably one of the best cleaning tip videos I’ve ever seen
Wish I saw this before we repainted the bedroom. Such great paint info!
I literally have heard of none of those painting trucks but they all are being used now... I'm painting my living room and Thank goodness I found this video! Great content!
To pull stinky and unwanted smells out of the air in your home you can put vinegar on a plate. It works great!
Then it just smells like VINEGAR 😂
@Wacky D Squared XVII 🤣🤣
Lol vinegar is unwanted
@@dumpsterfire6351 The smell of vinegar dissipates within 15 minutes and takes all the other odors with it.
Hometalk
I like how you got the fibers off the roller and the Pringles can trick was genius! Thank you for demonstrating your examples while you talk about the process. Another excellent video!
Just how many pringles are you planning on eating??
Great! Vinegar for cleaning and a bit of vinegar in warm water for acid reflux 👍
Didn't know about using it for GERD. I've heard of baking soda for it. Should've known since vinegar and baking soda always go together. 😂
Vinegar has so many good uses I buy it by the gallon and this video offers more new applications. Thank you!💙💙💙
It also kills mold!
@@Tinyteacher1111, WOW! I was not aware of that and thank you for telling me. Just think of all the money a person can save using vinegar instead of the numerous products they would otherwise buy. Now I am going to buy two gallons of vinegar. 😊
@@thebastardgift yep! I’ve saved so much on cleaning products after I started using a half and half mixture of distilled vinegar and hydrogen peroxide. I sometimes add a few drops of an essential oil, but the mix on its own leaves a fresh, clean smell and will clean just about anything you can think of. If I have soap scum build up around my tub (combo of my bad back and a husband who forgets to rinse the tub), I first use baking soda with a bit of water to make a thick paste, scrub the tub, then spray my vinegar mixture, let it sit for a few minutes, and rinse clean. I was having problems removing tough grease stains from my husband’s work clothes, so I tried laundering them in borax and a bit of dawn dish soap, then running an additional rinse with baking soda and vinegar. The clothes looked almost new! You truly don’t need to buy most of the pricey stuff out there with these items on hand. 🙂
@@jodilea144, in the best of times, and we are far from being in the best of times, these are great ideas!😊
Since this video I have purchased 3 gallons of Vinegar. 😊
Excellent 🥰
Smart. Thank you for your leadership!
The fork for hanging pictures is awesome
These are ALL brilliant and very practical. Thank you!
I couldn't have bumped into your video at a better time since I'll be painting my living room and bedrooms this coming summer
Wow! Wonderful tips! I cannot believe it came just on time. I was painting today. I should have listened to your video before. I also use vinegar to clean everything and someone just told me today why are you always using vinegar, maybe it's not good. What a coincidence!
Thank you for sharing so many tips in a short and sweet video. 👍
Use a wire brush to clean it under water instead of a comb and get it even cleaner
I also have been doing all that stuff for many years. I knew all the tricks except for the fork trick. Everything you suggest is a proven time saver and viable hack.
Thank you - these are very valuable and sensible painting tips I will certainly use
These are amazing tips. Actual useful tips in a video finally. Thanks.
Some of the best DIY advice I’ve seen. Thanks man!
Very good tips and tricks. You've outdone yourself compared to other channels.
Excellent stuff!
There have been times, I wasn’t able to finish a painting job. Instead of washing my paint brushes and rollers, I put the paintbrush/roller in a Ziploc bag, squeeze the air out, then store it in the fridge.
When I’m ready to resume painting, I remove the bagged paintbrush/roller and let it get closer to room temperature….then, finish painting. (I’ve stored them for extended lengths of time, and have had good luck….so far!)
For the grout….Baking Soda and Vinegar
Sprinkle
Pour
Scrub Brush
Done
my dad put his undawareh in a plastic bag in 1975, last year he opened it in front of us, couldn't believe the smell, and the skid looked fresh like dad just made it
I've painted a couple of hundred houses, and this is the first "hack" video that didn't have me rolling my eyes. Good tips.
Thanks Jeremy
Its really good to find this side of youtube for a change
These tips were soooo helpful. Wish I knew the comb thru the brush trick before I ruined an expensive and favourite paint brush. Am painting my front door today. The aluminum foil around the door knob will come in handy 👍
Cleaning the brush thoroughly is the best way to keep a brush pristine for months. Good luck on painting your front door.
They used to make a comb, with metal teeth, for paint brushes. I haven't been able to find one so I'll try this with a normal hair comb.
@@roseother8306 There used to be aluminium hair combs.
@@roseother8306 wire brush works great
Always wash your brushes with the handle straight up otherwise the water will flow into the bristles rusting the metal and ruining the brush.
When painting walls close to the ceiling it is quicker to hold a wallpaper scraper where the wall meets the ceiling to stop paint going on the ceiling then using masking tape to mask it all off.
When that rubber band pops it's going to sling paint everywhere.
Wow. Never use vinegar over natural stone. Instant etch on Marble for sure.
I love the pringles can! Glad he said to take the chips out first though.
These tips are great !
These are great - thanks!
Loads of great painting tips!
That comb trick! Thank you my man.
Really helpful and ingenious tips. Thanks.
I love using vinegar to clean with and I add a little water to it for cleaning my windows and mopping my floors I also put vinegar and baking soda for my sinks and tub pipes and then run some hot water behind it it’s awesome I swear by it !
Vinegar definitely doesn’t get enough credit.
Sprinkle some Baking Soda in a slow-drain, then follow that with some vinegar. (do this with the grout, too.)
And use vinegar to mop your floors.
Thank you. Great information.
Fabulous! And perfect timing, I’m preparing to paint a room right now.
I was presently surprised by how good and helpful this video was.
Thank you for this video! Literally solved a few house problems I've been trying to resolve for so long!
I Love 💜 These Paint & Repair Tips & TFS!!!👍😊
Great tips!!!! Thank you! Love this guy too! He needs his own channel!!
Thanks for the paint tips - some of which I've been using for a while. Just one tip on the pringles storage trick (which I didn't know about), wash the inside with soapy water and rinse before using, to avoid getting grease on your nice fresh roller.
Thank you so very much for sharing this!!! I'm gonna use a lot of these. Much Love 🌷🤗🌹
This is soo helpful, I'm going to save so much time repainting my imaginary house.
Hey!! Look on the brightside, you can use the best paint on the market, as many coats as you'd like and it won't make an a phuck!!!!
LOL 😂
Just make sure you use imaginary paint too or you could make a big mess.
@@jerrylisby3440 Yes very important, I've found that real paint doesn't adhere very well to imaginary walls.
Actually very good tips & tricks...Thanks!
😭😭😭 these videos with Mamie are so amazing!
These are great tips, thank you so much!
Thank you for sharing these amazing tips for easy cleaning!!
Fantastic hacks! Thanks for these.
Just in time. I plan to paint in the next few days but I have been putting it off just because of all the things you mentioned. Thanks a million
Great tips! Thanks so much for sharing
Wow! Just, WOW!!! Thank you, sir!!! Incredibly simple tricks for a job I've been doing the hard way ALL my life! WOW!!!
Half way through you had me. This deserves my sub
Use a hammer to hit the inside of the metal rod on a paint roller in the opposite direction, the roller will slide off without you needing to grab it and get completely messy. This old timer taught me that. It’s amazing.
I love the painting tips, and I use vinegar to clean. I mix mine with a little dawn dish liquid.
VINEGAR is da bomb 💣 for SOOO many interior/exterior household projects and garden 🪴 projects! We buy vinegar by the GALLONS!
I was left with major mineral film from a tenant that never cleaned. I tried about 11 different products. All things that were supposed to work on deposits. Dawn and vinegar worked hands down over everything I tried.
Brilliant paint tips!
This should be required teaching in high school. Well done great video.
Wow! So many great ideas! Thank you!
Don’t use dryer sheets on your towels in the dryer as well. It affects your towels from absorbing water. That’s why you need vinegar to remove buildup. Use the large wool dryer balls instead. There are two sizes and I personally mix them both. These balls do a fantastic job. Recycle any dryer sheets by using them as dusting cloths. They work excellent dusting all over the home and on baseboards. I keep my extra in an old Kleenex box (and you can hide that with a decorator tissue cover if you like) for easy dispensing.
Love these ideas. I have heard that the vinegar is not good for your washer. It eat the gaskets over time.
May Jesus continue to bless you and your family
Worthy of the time to watch. Well done.
Thanks Barry!
So easy and practical these ideas!
Love it, thanks.
I am 77. I started painting when I was 11 or so. I am proud to say I have never painted a door w/o removing the hardware, nor have I painted a wall w/o removing the switch plates
I just cleaned my off white grout. I tried 2 commercial cleaners and toilet bowl cleaner. The winner was ZEP grout cleaner available cheaply at Walmart. I used a Dollar Tree battery powered toothbrush. It worked great and only took 2 AA cells.
Thanks for great tips. Really helpful.
Some REALLY unique painting Tips !! 👨🎨 Vinegar on my new shower tiles which are spotting . Can't wait to try it !! 🚿
Excellent tips/tricks.
I've also used other essential oils to help with the smell of the paint.
This is a different version of Bob Ross. Nice and calmly explained how to do certain things, Love it.
Great tips for someone who hates to paint! Thanks!
I decided to paint my house this past weekend and did the trick of the rubber band on the paint can as a strainer
Well…rubber band snapped form the paint can…now I have paint all over my house….LOL
It looks good!
@heli fan... Now you know to use a fresh new one. Rubber bands get old with time like everything else 😅😂👌🏻🤗🦋
A wire is better. the rummer band will fling paint every time.
I especially like the Pringle can idea 💡 but the aluminum foil on door knob its easier to just use tape
I have seen many paint videos and didn’t think I would see many tricks. Maybe one or two but here I saw quite a bit. Great video!!!!
Thankyou for the tips there were some simple ones(3) that I'd never seen before
To all the people who are watching this video " May your soul, mind & body find the peace " ✌️
These were Great!!👍
This is one of the most helpful videos on here.
Thank you so much for the painting Tipps 💚🤓
Worked as a painter's assistant for years. Wiping a brush against the side of the can, or your rubber band suggestion, just removes too much the paint from where you want it on the brush. As my boss told me, he ain't paying me to paint the inside of the can.
I was taught to tap the brush against the inside rim of the can. It removes the excessive paint from the brush but keeps it "loaded" with paint. You won't have to reload your brush nearly as often. The ends of the bristles won't be aligned as they would if you wipe the brush. To realign, run just the tip against the inside rim of the can. With a little practice you can realign the tips on the first stroke of the brush on the surface you are painting. If you are cutting in around fine woodwork, you don't need to load the brush as much so don't dip it as deeply and don't tap it as hard.
Depending on how forceful one is at making the suggested drain holes in the groove of the can, it can distort the rim and allow air in even with the lid on. If you want to keep the groove of the can clean, run a piece of wide masking tape around the inside of the rim and fold it over the groove and fold down to the outside. Remove the tape and the groove will be perfectly clean.
You can't tap a brush inside of a full can of paint. We use to clean used 1 gallon paint cans for work pots. Can't stand working from a full can.
Masking tape thing sounds good, I’ll try it. Thanks
Or just use a separate container like a handy paint pail or a bucket size you feel comfortable with. I hate cutting out of paint containers, the lip is annoying to me.
Wow, excellent suggestions. I have to paint my bathroom and back doors (grandkids and dogs!) Grandma has confidence I can do it myself now.
Actually useful tips! I am constantly decorating my house, and I am going to make a note of most of the tips in this video. Thank you! 💕👍🏻
This is genuinely excellent!
Wish I had seen this 10 years ago! Super!
To make teaching cleaning fun and safer for my kids, I used 1Cup Baking soda, 1Tabelspoon Dawn dish soap, and 1Quart vinager to make a foaming toilet cleaner. The kids loved the excitement of the bubbling foam and the challenge of defeating the germs and deflating the foam with the brush.
Do you dump all the ingredients directly into the toilet bowl?
You lose the cleaning power of both the vinegar and baking soda that way though... Unless you scrub with one first before adding the other
Try this tip after you're done washing your paint brushes out and they're still wet put some hair conditioner in the paintbrush form your paintbrush let it sit for a couple hours rinse the conditioner out of your paintbrush dryer paintbrush off and wipe it down with a towel that will keep your paintbrush to not dry out and be able to still keep it's form like when you first bought it
Wow, who knew. Will have to try these next time I paint.
Will definitely use this tips in my upcoming projects!
