Clean Residue with Rags and Water

one thing you don't want to do is panic grab a hose and start using a hose to to clean up this mess because you'll just end up dispersing the product in a larger path and you know there was a storm drain right by here within probably 10 feet and we don't want this paint to go down the storm drain because this storm drain could be connected to the boise river and and you could just be adding contaminants to places you don't want it to go and it ended up leaving a big wider swath of paint you know on this parking lot right here so now just working quickly and efficiently i'm using cool water to start to wipe up this but once again one of the keys is you know when you're you've got a spill or a paint disaster is to you know not panic to you know stop you don't want to stop too long but just stop you'll think about what you're doing think about you're not creating you know worse of a disaster and how you're going to go about cleaning this up i've said it before and you know one of the big differences between a journeyman painter and a an apprentice is a journeyman painter just knows how to fix all of their mistakes so i just so happen to have a bunch of rags these are all just rags that you know i had in my vehicle that i'm just using clean water we had you know water faucet nearby and this is one of the you know when you're starting to paint on any job what i typically do is i start by filling up three buckets of water on a job site and having that water available you know for a disaster is one of the reasons why we you know have buckets filled up before we even start painting you can see this is a white primer on black asphalt and if you just keep you know working you can get this up and the thing is is to continue to use clean rags so i'm going to take my rags clean them
