Don't Do This | Mistakes Painter Make

[Music] all right here's another doll this is what you don't want to do is not remove the TV so the TV it just had two screws on it it was very simple I unscrewed the two Allen run screws TV lifted right off and nowadays flat screen TVs this was a pretty large TV and it's light enough for me to actually lift off myself if you're uncomfortable doing it with yourself just grab another person two painters could easily lift off the TV this is really bad what if the customer you know decided um I don't know they wanted to hang something on this wall move the TV or something now they got this scenario right here that they do they that they got to deal with so we don't remove the brackets themselves typically I'll cut around this bracket right here if the bracket's easy to remove you can remove the bracket also if you're comfortable doing that but we just don't want to have this mess so don't do this okay here's another don't what you don't want to do is leave your paint exposed for any length of time I would say if you're not going to be rolling probably 30 minutes to an hour you want to cover your bucket and you want to cover your pan because the paint's going to dry pretty rapidly on this roller and roll and ruin your roller I'm using a really expensive expensive ultra micro roller from Premiere so I'm going to use this thing for multiple jobs so I don't want paint to dry on it and I don't want paint to dry on my brush or on my four inch roller I use brush baggies if I ever use these things some people use trash bags so they're not wasting plastic you can use 3M plastic on the roll you can use a 9x400 plastic but you want to cover this bucket to try to get or this pan try to get as much air out as you can and now it's going to be less likely to dry same thing um Rex bagging makes a brush beanie that I use brush beans for my bucket stew or if I got a roll of you know 3M plastic handy I'll just cut it off so make sure you cover your buckets especially if you're outside and it's hot outside because you can ruin brushes and rollers fast [Music] [Applause]
