6 BAD Painting Hacks. These Tips Are NONSENSE!
What happens here
This 'hack' involves cutting a large opening into a plastic milk jug to create a handheld paint container for 'cutting in' (painting edges). The video demonstrates that the thin, flimsy plastic of a milk jug provides very little stability. When paint is poured into it and the jug is tilted or moved, paint easily spills, particularly from the handle area, creating a mess and wasting paint. This significantly reduces the 'margin for error' and makes careful work difficult. Instead, invest in a dedicated, durable cut-in paint bucket, which is designed with stability and ease of use in mind, providing a professional and spill-resistant solution for edging and detail work.
Goal: Do not cut open a plastic milk jug to create a DIY cut-in paint bucket, as its flimsiness leads to spills and inefficiency.
