Don’t let paint harden on your brush
It’ll ruin the bristles. If you’re taking a break, wrap your brush in cling wrap, to stop it from drying out.
Store unused paint
Wipe the rim of the can clean and replace the lid. Place a block of wood over the lid and tap it down with a hammer to reseal it. Turn the can upside down for a few seconds to prevent a layer of skin forming on the paint surface. Store the cans in a well-ventilated place that is cool, dry and out of children’s reach.
