I hate it when paint pot lids are glued shut - a result of all the excess paint being wiped off your brush when painting. But - not any longer. All you need is one simple item: an elastic band! Simply fit it around the tin and wipe off all excess paint onto the band rather than the edge of the tin. Your tin is spared! - Thank you Pinterest for this top tip!
You can also balance your brush on the band if you need to:
TOP TIPS
- Try to use a thick(ish) elastic band - a thin one runs a higher risk of snapping and paint could splash everywhere!
- Be very careful when removing the elastic band. Use both hands and ensure both the top and bottom is removed together to avoid paint splashing everywhere (again!).
