Re: Keep a Paintbrush From Drying Out Between Coats

The new Paint Brush Storage Lid by Gadgetry is now available. Store your brush anytime needed. Just put in the lid and place on can. Press down to seal for overnight. It's available on Amazon. Here's another good one. Store an oil brush suspended in a gallon can of water. Use the lid to keep a sharp tip. Works every time. I've gone 3 days with success. Wipe off the water on a rag and go.

Re: Folding Trick Makes Sandpaper Last Longer

Roe,
Thanks so much for this method, it is simply brilliant! I'm a painter and I was cutting a sheet in half and the and folding. I have been using your tip for about 2 weeks, it is great how the paper becomes substantially thicker, like a holder of sorts. I sell paint at Home Depot on the weekends and am now teaching all of my customers this trick when I can. They light up! Come on people, make some comments! Do not neglect the fact that this is true creative genius and at zero cost. I really mean that.

Re: Keep a Paintbrush From Drying Out Between Coats

Hi to all,

All I've read are very useful solutions to the dilemma of paint brush storage, however I am the inventor of a new paint accessory, the ECO Prazi Paint Brush Storage Lid. It is a lid that stores your brush for a quick break, phone call, lunch, overnight, and even multiple days on end. If you have a second google it or go to praziusa.com for a video demonstration and price. I am a full time painter and it was born out of necessity. Hope you enjoy!
