My grandfather was right. Secret Tricks That Painters Hide From You

[lanebigham]

Painters like all tradesmen do have "secret tricks" unfortunately none of them are in this video

[Tbone.]

I painted for 25 years and usually put a primer on a wood door before spraying it. 🤔

The buckets screwed into slippers is such a unique way to break bones .

Painters just paint we don't use or hide tricks it doesn't take a rocket scientist to paint. You better know how to know the difference in the paints application and what's already on the surface and how to clean it properly the prepping is the worst part. You learn from experience. 😅 Honestly I wouldn't use any of the techniques on this video 😅

I always get tricked into watching these ridiculous hacks

[Chrissini]

You put tape over a hole, just to put filler over the tape instead just to fill the hole with it? i dont get it

I've found that Pringles cans are the perfect size to keep roller heads clean and not all smashed up. Also easy to Sharpe the lid so you know what's in it. You're welcome 😄

Most of these don't work for more than maybe a small touch up. All of these have had commercial versions available for just a few bucks that still don't work well. If I caught one of my $30/ hour painters doing 90% of these crafts on the clock and getting those results, they would be fired. That is why they hide it from you.

So smart and clever! Wish I knew those tricks when I was a homeowner trying to paint everything!

My grandfather was a well known painter in Evansville. He was the only one who took the job of painting the highest church steeple here! He could turn a piece of drywall into any type of wood panel.

I don’t get all the hate in the comment section. He’s not saying these are better or preferred ways of doing things. He burned through so many ideas, they’re not all going to be home runs but there were some cool ones

[ronliebermann]

I’m just curious. Why don’t they make a paint roller with an electric motor, so that three rollers can be placed on separate shafts?

You would press the button, and the rollers would circle around. That way, you could get yourself covered with paint even faster.

I always budget a gallon of paint for me, and a gallon for the wall.

I LOVE watching this stuff! It's remembering to use it when you need that's the problem!

These tips are fantastic for novices and worshop. Thank you very much for your intuition.

TROP COOL l'astuce pour vieillir le bois sur ma table basse de salon crée avec mes p'tites mains. Pareil pour le ballon et la corde = je cherchais justement un moyen de peindre ma cuisine avec un côté provençal. TROUVE grave à vous !... Ce sera orangé avec des fleurs ( Merci le ballon ) bleu ciel.... ALLEZ, je m'y colle ce dimanche ! .... 🥰 MERCI tout plein 🥰

Some of these are pretty handy. I like the idea of taking household materials to make unique designs on the walls. Faux brick with just a sponge saves time and money.

I use aluminium foil when painting doors - it slides under the bottom of the door and I can paint right to the edge. Same with bookcases.

I'm glad they hid most of this from me tbh

Trick: use a credit card (preferably an old one) to remove paint from rollers before rinsing out thoroughly in a bit of water. scrunch out then takes little running water to rinse out properly.
Fuzz them up by spinning them on their cages .... or in real life, scruffy them up after washing and again while damp and before use.

I've seen a few people who have a washing machine just for cleaning rollers. The results look really lovely but can't help thinking the rollers would get bashed about to bits. I believe some divorces have come about by using this approach ... but with lovely clean fluffy rollers, possibly worth it.

I don't do this as I never remember, but believe wetting an emulsion brush before use stops the paint entering the fennel making it far quicker to clean out.

If you paint for a living, you have more than likely hung some drywall at one time or another, if so, you wouldn't to need screw sandals on to 5 gal buckets!
