The wood grain tool is so helpful. One tip is paint a lighter wood color, and let it dry and then go back with a darker wood color and drag the tool lightly over it.
My grandson spray painted my car with black spray paint, my neighbor suggested that I use WD40 to clean it off, and it worked beautifully! You just have to leave it on for about 5 minutes, & then wipe it off. I was so grateful!!
@@DuncanCustomAirbrush Basically, WD40 is silicone based, so I'd think that just getting the silicone stuff people use for acrylic pouring and using that would be a LOT cheaper, although I haven't tried it. Just a thought, WD40 is EXPENSIVE!!
After a day of painting/spray painting I'll wash my hands with WD-40. Then I'll wash the WD-40 off with isopropyl alcohol. Gets about 90% of the paint off my skin. Doesn't do much under the fingernails... but I don't really try that hard ;) .
Wd-40 and even mosquito spray with dete will remove dried and wet paint, sharpie marker and any type of oil laquer , enamel based stains and paints and markers off of anything
Mosquito spray will also remove spray paints and sharpie marker off of anything that's a hard surface non cloth or soft materials like cloth. And will remove it off leather as well
If you pull off your tape at a 90 degree angle ON THE SAME PLANE AS THE TAPE, it comes off easier and with fewer tears because the force is distributed over a greater area and the adhesive doesn't bond with the same strength at that angle. A hair dryer blowing ahead of your pull can also help.
Great tips. The trick with the dryer sheet does work. First you must start with very hot water, stir it well once the dryer sheet has time to release some of its good stuff. Every once in awhile pick up the brush and stir. Leave over night. Next day try brraking up the brush and do it again. I find it best if you can put a lid on it in order to keep the heat it. Patience is key and it may take a few times. It also works fantastic if you burn something in your pot. Never thought id ever get it cleaned until someone suggested the dryer sheet.I ran across your video today and your funny, talented and witty. I'll be checking your channel out.
Cling film: place a layer of plastic wrap or a cut-down plastic bag over the top of the can before you seal up the lid, this helps create a tight seal, creates a barrier against metal-to-metal corrosion, and also makes it easier to “cleanly” open the can when the time comes. If I have a paint can that’s still 3/4 full or completely full, I always store them upside down. Keeps the paint from creating that clumpy film on top. I worked for Benjamin Moore for years inside and outside sales. One of my favorite store managers was an old school woman Janette who had been in the business for 40+ years. God Bless that woman for mentoring me but Janette was known in our town that if you had a difficult paint job, or color match or maybe you royally screwed something up and your customer is furious, you would go to Janette. The wood grain hack definitely works. I saw her do this on tile before and I also saw her use two different stains before and did it on a fireplace mantle. I used to watch her in amazement.
Latex & acrylic tips Try using a glaze for the wood grain tool instead of full strength paint. Plus, the tips on other comments. Another way to marble is to brush the general lines on and spray it with a mist of isopropyl alcohol. Kind of like your spray paint & alcohol video. That will give a nice foggy edge plus a mottled effect. Then pull a thin brush through in some places to add dimension. Do small areas like 2 - 3 square feet to keep the wet edges. Use an ice cube tray to mix small batches of colors that you'll need throughout your project. Cover tightly with plastic wrap or foil & it will last up to a week. Use a rubber spatula to get the last of the paint out of a can. Dollar store has different sizes & shapes. - When the paint builds up at the top on the can despite being careful, run 2" tape around the top of the can & fold it over on the lid to create a seal. If you know it may be over a year before you'll need it, use a good duct tape, or the aluminum duct tape. That aluminum tape also is the best seal for caulk tubes! I enjoy your videos! I've only seen a few so far and subscribed!
Try using a nail and hammering it into the indent where the lid fits into a can of paint. That will allow the paint to flow back into the can of paint after you are done pouring the paint out of the can. Try using rubbing alcohol to remove fairly fresh acrylic paint from things. Love knowing Matte medium will keep paint from going under take when making tape lines. Thanks!
First time watcher, you had me at "At least I was asleep and I didn't even know I was wasting time" 🤣 then 19:06 🤣, then for the rest I was just in hysterics. Thank you! I haven't had a laugh like that for a long time. I am so glad I came across your channel. Subscribed, shared and a very big thumbs up!
I LOVE your accent and your style! You are fun to watch and your tests of various hacks is really informative. I just want to run out right now and buy all this stuff! You are a fantastic salesman. You are awesome!
I am definitely going to try this technique. Have some paint projects & was just planning this tomorrow only now I'll add this to it. Right on , Right on.
You are hilarious. A good laugh to start my day. And learned what to try and what NOT to. Thank you. I don’t have an airbrush but will Definitely will check out some of your other videos.
YOU ARE THE GAME CHANGER! I am American but have lived in Frankfurt, Germany since 1996, so I am always desperate for hacks in ENGLISH. I’m an English teacher, and your English is not merely good, but colorful, witty, and clever. Marry me!
When you make the V with the tape on the paint can, make sure the bottom of the V is close to the edge. You had it like in the middle of the can. Hope that makes sense 😆 Great video! I want to try the line technique. 😊
@@DuncanCustomAirbrush and also make sure the tape is secured to the edge of the inside lip of the can to create a proper seal, that’s why the paint got into the rim 🤔
As a professional decorator, the wood grainer is not for the heavy-handed. And remember to wipe the access paint from the head before each pass. And go over it with a softener/flogger brush to ease of harsh lines
While using painters tape on the top edge of a paint can; The 'V' can work with 'wide' tape, or you could lay the tape side by side to make it wider... Be sure to press the tape down on both the inner ring and the outer ring to create a seal on each... Like when you used that board for all three of your 'paint' projects. Painters tape is specifically made so you can press it down to prevent 'bleeding' under the tape, and still be able to pull it up. Personal preference as to if you pull the tape up while the paint is still wet or wait until it dries! I hope this makes sense! Thank you for making me, well, bellow with laughter at times!!!
23:54 The Universe: "Yo, that was karma for subjecting innocent bystanders to ur walking around wearing white socks with the ol flippity floppy flops. Sorry, not sorry."
someone does a technique or something, people think it is new when it goes back old school meaning years and year Yes, your statement is so true. I see it all the time too. Happens in soap-making and other craft/art industries all the time too. LOL People try to claim those old ways as theirs all the time.
We owned a house from 1861. All the woodwork was down with the comb technique. Something I didn't understand considering the house had beautiful woodwork. The comb technique was done beautifully. I also had a friend who would do it for the historical society. I enjoy learning all these old art forms.
I tried the WD40 spray cap on a Rust-Oleum can.. And all I can say is..."WOW"....that was soooo cool..... I still need to share my "Paint stripping" on a tumbler with fire sometime.....
You're one funny guy. You're hilarious I never watched a video on RUclips and liked watching and laugh. I bet you are an awesome guy to hangout with. Please keep your videos coming they have a lot of useful knowledge and funny not boring.
Ow, ow, ow, ow 20:05 that cracked me up... One time I dropped some hot glue on the floor and used my finger to wipe it up. When it burned me, I wiped it off with my other finger and burned that one too! Note to self: Don't use your fingers to wipe off hot glue!
so.so.SO many times! (While sitting here realizing that I don't have actual fingerprints any longer...life of crime hmm....) Anyway you are not alone. I see you.
You can take a nail and make 2 holes in the rim where the top firs down into and the paint won't run down the side .. it goes back in can .. GREAT hack try it!!
Ive never seen you before, i was so enthralled with your videos. I just wanted to see more and more. I will subscribe now because I learned so much loved your hacks and tips. You have such a great fun demeanor. Thank you for your great tips! I can't wait to see more. Have a wonderful day!❤❤❤
"socks and sandals, activate!" 😂😂 U are so fun!! Ty for sharing these hacks, the last one with the WD-40 nozzle is my fav, I will definitely be doing that one myself! 😁 Happy Easter to u guys and God bless!
We used to use WD40 caps and nozzle straw things to mix spray paint colours. Can of white in ice cold water and red in a bucket of hot, connect then spray to mix up a pink. Add blue for purple etc.... 💜
I laughed my a** off watching the bottle glued to the big brush hack. You crack me up. I love watching your videos. Good tips and information are a bonus. 😁
Try using a wooden handle paint brush. You're plastic one, had a gap in it.. I think that's why it oozed out on the sides. It should be solid, so the paint has nowhere to go.
If you need to close up your paint and you can't get the lid clean, put press-n-seal over the top and put the lid on (works for house paint lids and plastic screw on bottles!) I work with fluid art and mediums are practically glue, so this makes things much easier for me!
The wood grain tool has been around for a while. First used it about 25 years ago and “turned” a metal door into stained wood. Customer loved it! It does take a little practice though.
You are so funny!! Thanks for the laughs and the heads up on what works and what does not. I have used Olive oil to get dried paint off a brush. It needs to soak for at least an hour or 4.
I love your hack videos. I especially liked the last hack showing how to put the WD40 top onto a spray paint. I wanted to try that myself, and now that I know it works, I can't wait to try it.
Cool. I don't use spraypaint but that's a good technique to know. I've seen the plastic wrap tech with acrylic paint....tried it ...wow...how long ago was that....too long. I've been. Thinking about it and seeing it mire again. I guess this vid means I need to use it on a larger surface 😂🎉😊
Yep. Custom caulking👌 Easy as it is to do, so many of these guys " I've been painting for 20, 30 years" etc. Just can't seem to get it right. Either not enough patience to do it right, or " my poor little fingers are sore"😂 I call those folks " can't get right"
Wondering where the yellow and orange went? Look at your brush. The yellow and orange mixed with the green at the end of the brush. You needed a lot more of those 2 colors at the end to separate themselves. In this case, they just mixed and you're lucky you didn't get brown. If you don't get your color to the end of your brush, it's going to mix with the adjacent colors and you'll never see the ones you put down. Check out the image of the brush at 6:33. Tells you all you need to know.
Sweetheart, you need to use LIQUID fabric softener for that one hack to even think of working 😂 i love your videos tho thanks for being out there making fun, artistic content 😊
What you can do testing like you did on the piece of artwork, make a colored copy with it and then put that on it to see if you like it first. But using the insert to spray with is FANTASTIC!!!! Thanks for sharing it!
So I watched this in fast forward 2x speed! You are hilarious! When you touched the hot glue, totally relate lol and the red paint on the paint brush, coming out the handle part - thank you! I will try the wd40 hack, I'm sure 😊
Years ago I used the holoween cobweb lace to paint a guitar like guy hear used regular lace. Came out great! I really liked the carbon fiber technique.
Great video, I loved it! Just this week, I saw a hack for cleaning dried paint brushes. It worked great, but I can't remember what substance they used, lol. Sorry. I'm a new sub. I'm so glad I subscribed. 😊
Lmao🤣 😂 Love how funny u are! Hillarious! I literally laughed out loud at "what happened here? Did you get tired or something?" comment bout the orange n yellow. I do enjoy ur videos largely for how funny u are.... and maybe a lil bit attractive....🙄 Lol For real though enjoy ur vids and how silly n real u keep things while making them. Keep up the good wrk and great and fun content. Big 👍👍
Enjoying your channel, cool testing...that bottle cap idea is clever, in the trade we used to use the 3M pps cups for keeping basecoat paint. Just want to throw this out there , automotive lacquers ( like Duracryl, Lucite, other brands ) are much more flammable than enamels, urethanes.
I'm new watching your channel. I was wondering if you ever tried kids "playdoh" on the paint can to stop the paint from getting into that crevice. When I tried it with woodstain it seems to do the trick for me. You will want to use the playdoh and form a "V" sort of like the tape example. just a thought to try.
15:39 for an old crusty paint brush Murphy's oil soap and hot water works great if you can paperclip it to the top so that it's not resting on the bottom then just leave it in there and eventually it'll start coming off you can use an old toothbrush to then brush through the bristles this is what happens when your mother is an artist
I had a van, years ago, which I used as a test for painting techniques. For the instrument cluster panel (close to the size of the glove compartment door) ... I took both out of the van. Then I painted them both the same color. Then for the hack, I took plastic (I used the scrap from model car building) ... I held the instrument cluster and glove box door (freshly painted sides facing down ...) lit on fire, the plastic, and held it beneath the fresh paint ... so that the spidery smoke ... only ... landed on the fresh paint. Then I let the paint dry ... and once fully dry, I clear coated the items. The result, was wispy, smoke on the paint, and the clear, just kept the smoke from wiping off. A real cool easy and cheap effect, for smaller pieces. Though I contemplated a larger area, on the side of the van, using the same technique, but with a very slow fan, or possibly even blowing through a straw, gently pushing the smoke onto the paint.
VERY cool idea @Orionbennett776! I wish we could attatch thumb nails in our posts to share things like that as a visual. AND as for YOU DUNCAN….where is THAT painting with SMOKE VID???????❤
@@tovah2276 yeah being able to post pics would be a nice feature on YT ... I have a classic truck (similar to my old van) that I would like to show to Duncan for ideas as to how to fix scratches in a heavy metal flake.
I made a wood look rocking thing like you have. I made it by using an empty tp roll and made the grain look with my glue gun. I made a full faux fireplace mantle and it held up great.

Try using a wooden handle paint brush. You're plastic one, had a gap in it.. I think that's why it oozed out on the sides. It should be solid, so the paint has nowhere to go.
Fun! Will try the tape and medium also the plastic wrap. Thanks!
39 seconds of laughter and tears. So much good fun. 22:19

If you need to close up your paint and you can't get the lid clean, put press-n-seal over the top and put the lid on (works for house paint lids and plastic screw on bottles!) I work with fluid art and mediums are practically glue, so this makes things much easier for me!
Great Variety Outcomes. Possibly try a 90° Angled "V" with Blue Painters Tape.
Another hack for clean lines you can also paint your tape with Mod podge before painting the area and your lines will be crisp.
@@akarph Mod Podge is a brand name for the stuff he used. Any matte medium will work fine. (NOT gloss!)

You needed a lot more of those 2 colors at the end to separate themselves. In this case, they just mixed and you're lucky you didn't get brown. If you don't get your color to the end of your brush, it's going to mix with the adjacent colors and you'll never see the ones you put down. Check out the image of the brush at 6:33.
Tells you all you need to know.
Sweetheart, you need to use LIQUID fabric softener for that one hack to even think of working 😂 i love your videos tho thanks for being out there making fun, artistic content 😊

LOL, glad I converted you into a laugher!
PDX here 💕 Ya never fail to make us "more smarter"👍lol..n make my coffee taste better toooo💯

What you can do testing like you did on the piece of artwork, make a colored copy with it and then put that on it to see if you like it first. But using the insert to spray with is FANTASTIC!!!! Thanks for sharing it!
That's a good idea!
@@DuncanCustomAirbrush Thanks.... Doing that has saved several of my pieces of art..lol
First time here and loved you humorous, Helpful content! Subscribed.
You are entertaining and funny. Good job ❤
So I watched this in fast forward 2x speed! You are hilarious! When you touched the hot glue, totally relate lol and the red paint on the paint brush, coming out the handle part - thank you! I will try the wd40 hack, I'm sure 😊
its so much fun to wach your video thanks foor making this
For the V shape paint pour trick, try pressing the tape on the rim so it can’t get in the groove when you pour.
Years ago I used the holoween cobweb lace to paint a guitar like guy hear used regular lace. Came out great! I really liked the carbon fiber technique.
I laughed my head off when you " slipped". Very entertaining video. 👍
LOL, Glad you enjoyed it
You are hilarious and talented too! Loved this video!
Thank you!
Cools hacks! Your videos are so much fun to watch. Thank you !
You are so welcome, and thank you!

Murphy's oil soap for cleaning brushes. Works wonders.
Omg i thoroughly enjoyed that whole video ...
What is the woodgrain tool?
i thinknyou can get ut on Amazon
Hey ty for the wd40 cap on spray paint, I have other types of straw caps for spraying, but I want to try that out
that would be cool!
Great video, I loved it! Just this week, I saw a hack for cleaning dried paint brushes. It worked great, but I can't remember what substance they used, lol. Sorry. I'm a new sub. I'm so glad I subscribed. 😊
Oh, you'll have to tell me if you remember!
Lmao🤣 😂 Love how funny u are! Hillarious! I literally laughed out loud at "what happened here? Did you get tired or something?" comment bout the orange n yellow. I do enjoy ur videos largely for how funny u are.... and maybe a lil bit attractive....🙄 Lol
For real though enjoy ur vids and how silly n real u keep things while making them. Keep up the good wrk and great and fun content. Big 👍👍
Thanks so much Stacy! I love that you get my humor, lol!!
Enjoying your channel, cool testing...that bottle cap idea is clever, in the trade we used to use the 3M pps cups for keeping basecoat paint. Just want to throw this out there , automotive lacquers ( like Duracryl, Lucite, other brands ) are much more flammable than enamels, urethanes.
I'm new watching your channel. I was wondering if you ever tried kids "playdoh" on the paint can to stop the paint from getting into that crevice. When I tried it with woodstain it seems to do the trick for me. You will want to use the playdoh and form a "V" sort of like the tape example. just a thought to try.
That is very interesting - I have never heard of that!
You had me rolling the whole time you are truly one funny man
Enjoyed that very much 😂
Fun lessons Taylor!
Thanks, this was the most footage I have ever had to edit!
15:39 for an old crusty paint brush Murphy's oil soap and hot water works great if you can paperclip it to the top so that it's not resting on the bottom then just leave it in there and eventually it'll start coming off you can use an old toothbrush to then brush through the bristles this is what happens when your mother is an artist
Great tip!
Have you done hydro dipping with spray paint?

Coke is the real thing. ❤
Your tips are much needed. I have paint projects going on in every room. Thx!
😎👍
I had a van, years ago, which I used as a test for painting techniques. For the instrument cluster panel (close to the size of the glove compartment door) ... I took both out of the van. Then I painted them both the same color. Then for the hack, I took plastic (I used the scrap from model car building) ... I held the instrument cluster and glove box door (freshly painted sides facing down ...) lit on fire, the plastic, and held it beneath the fresh paint ... so that the spidery smoke ... only ... landed on the fresh paint. Then I let the paint dry ... and once fully dry, I clear coated the items. The result, was wispy, smoke on the paint, and the clear, just kept the smoke from wiping off. A real cool easy and cheap effect, for smaller pieces. Though I contemplated a larger area, on the side of the van, using the same technique, but with a very slow fan, or possibly even blowing through a straw, gently pushing the smoke onto the paint.
Cool! I have a video on my channel where I painted with smoke before 👍
VERY cool idea @Orionbennett776! I wish we could attatch thumb nails in our posts to share things like that as a visual. AND as for YOU DUNCAN….where is THAT painting with SMOKE VID???????❤
@@tovah2276 yeah being able to post pics would be a nice feature on YT ... I have a classic truck (similar to my old van) that I would like to show to Duncan for ideas as to how to fix scratches in a heavy metal flake.
I really like that bowling ball effect, I'm going to try that one!
I did it down the side of a car once
You are hilarious 😂 so I subscribed! Hugs from Ketchikan, Alaska ❤
I made a wood look rocking thing like you have. I made it by using an empty tp roll and made the grain look with my glue gun. I made a full faux fireplace mantle and it held up great.
That last tip looks great for Taggers.
