Top 5 Professional Painting Hacks

What happens here

New paint brushes, even high-quality ones, tend to shed bristles, which can end up on your freshly painted walls. Trying to pick these out with your fingers is difficult and can smudge the wet paint. The best method is to gently push the paint brush (specifically, the side of the brush) into the wall where the loose bristle is. The bristle will adhere to the brush, allowing you to easily pick it out and continue painting without making a mess.

Goal: Easily remove loose bristles from a new paintbrush or from a freshly painted wall.

okay so fourth tip is about new brushes um i don't tend to get that many new brushes because i look after my brushes and i try and use the most i can get the best i can out of them and unfortunately sometimes they come to the end of the road so when i do get a new brush these are the picasso blaze really good brush i don't know if they're in the states yet but in the uk these are a really really good brush and i know they've got a really good reputation i've been using them quite a while now and i'd highly rate getting some so they come with obviously a protector so the idea behind this tip is when you're using a new brush and you're painting the walls um bristles will come out any brush you can name me any brush in the world best brush the most expensive brush bristles will fall out of a new brush after a while after a few weeks or months of using them they tend to slow down on bristles coming out but bristles will come out new brushes it's just it's just a thing that happens so if you do get a new brush bristles get on the wall in the paint and you'll see it as you're brushing away sorry i haven't got an example for this but when you're brushing away you'll see one come out and it'll be laying in the paint now if you try and pick it off your fingers or anything like that it's really hard to do and it makes a mess of the wall um it's just a painful process really so my best tip for getting a bristle off the wall um is to simply push the paintbrush into the wall where the bristle is the bristle will come off at the end of the paintbrush pick it out you can carry on it's really quick way to do it and i know when i got told that tip it saved me a lot of bother when i'm painting a wall so final tip
