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.
The best paint tips I ever heard and ALL of them are beneficial. 🎯🎯🎯

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.
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.

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.

Brilliant! Love the rubber band!
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.

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

@@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. 🙂

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.
Awesome video! Great ideas!
I've also used other essential oils to help with the smell of the paint.
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.

This is a different version of Bob Ross. Nice and calmly explained how to do certain things, Love it.
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.
Thank you so very much for sharing this!!! I'm gonna use a lot of these. Much Love 🌷🤗🌹

A wire is better. the rummer band will fling paint every time.
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.
