All right, so I'm going to talk to you about hack number one and hack number one is D-linting your rollers or better yet find rollers that are a lint free roller So today I didn't have a lint free roller on me. I typically use a woven pro premier's woven pro rollers Which will never leave lints behind but as you can see on this door I'd decided to run with a polyester roller that roller that wasn't lint free I'm rolling some fast-riot oil primer on this door and it's leaving lints all behind and now because it's leaving all those lints behind I'm going to have to sand my door and sand all those lints off and there's nothing more annoying than Happened to do a bunch of sanding that you shouldn't have to do. So hack number one is Finding a lint free roller or delinting your rollers. You can delint them by taking wrapping tape around them or pre-cleaning them wrapping tape unrapping the tape. I got a video on that how to delint a roller But it's always just best practice to use rollers that are lint free They may cost you a little bit more, but they're not going to cause you a nightmare like that All right, we got hack number two for you and that is setting your switch plates or outlet covers screws
