you load up a brush. Starting off, I always work I wouldn't say always, but you know, most of the time, probably 95% of the time, I'm working out of a 2-gallon cut-in bucket. And then inside the cut-in bucket, I'm going to be using a 1-gallon screen. So, here's the 1-gallon screen right here. And you'll notice the screen, there's no holes in the screen. It's eventually got filled up with paint. When you buy the screens to begin with, um they're just a wire mesh screen and they don't load up your roller very fast, and they have a tendency to cause splatters when you're actually using it. So, I can't stand the um bucket screens until they actually get almost completely filled up with paint. Eventually, they'll get so heavy that you got to just toss them and um get another one and begin using another one. But this, the way this one right here is pretty dang ideal, an ideal condition. Now, you'll see on the bottom of it it's got a lot of dried paint that's hooked up to it. You can tell that that's how many times it's been used. That's the setup. The brushes typically inside and outside, um I use a um paint life brook brush. So, this is my own custom brush right here, um made by Premier handmade brushes in New York. This is a DuPont um filament brush, Tynex and Oreo. So, it's the best filaments, you know, that you can actually buy that are manufactured, um custom handle, everything. I do all my cut-ins with a 3-in brush. I do all my exterior painting with 3-in brush, angle sash brush. Everything I use uh pretty much 99% of the time is the angle sash brush. The rollers I use a variety of different um rollers, 4-in whiny rollers, 4-in, you know, just conventional larger rollers. Now, the um the roller itself is polyester um knit rollers. They're great for outdoors. Polyester knit is more durable. It loads up faster and unloads the paint faster, so you can um paint longer and farther and quicker with it. But um those um knit rollers, they the polyester knit rollers will release lint, so you want to use them outside. So, they're durable for outsides, for wood substrates, and doing all your exterior painting. For insides, you're going to be using um a lint-free like woven rollers. So, Premier makes um their outside rollers. The knit rollers are coat-a-wool. Inside are their woven pro lint-free [music] wall rollers, and that's what I typically We got spider webs floating around here.
