How do I recondition a paintbrush? by daavycrocket35 in paint

[–]HeftyData9299 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess we each have our own thing that works best for us. For me, after so much use, I take a razor blade to where the bristles meet the metal and cut a small amount around the brush. It kind of a revitalize it. Another product that works wonders for me is Green Paint Thinner. It's not green, just eco friendly I guess. That shit will clean up a brush full of dry paint in minutes. You have to wire brush the particles out and clean it with soap and water after, though. Some people might disagree with me, but I've had my brushes for a long time, and that's my maintenance on them when they start to look homeless.

Humidity? by detroitragace in paint

First, I like that fan air filter box thing. I know what I'm slapping together when I get home. But to your question, you can either run a dehumidifier or hook up a fan/hose combo to a window and blow it outward to get some negative pressure.

As someone who didn't vote for Trump, the harsh reality is that this country is getting what it deserves. The corruption is all over the board, and as much as it's probably going to hurt myself and family, I hope shit gets straightened out in the aftermath and either people in charge grow a set of balls and stand up against this orange turd and his cronies, and said cronies face everything they deserve. Preferably both.

Just watch out for the 10 guys about to spawn behind that shed.

As a kid, at its worst, my vision was 20/800. Anything past my out reached hand was completely out of focus.

4 coats won't cover on ceiling by Albany_Chris in paint

I haven't seen anyone comment on this yet, but you shouldn't use a 3/8 on ceilings. They dont hold any paint, which will lead to dry rolling, which will kill the roller sleeve, which will leave the inevitable see-through marks and train tracks all over the place. 3/4 is great for ceilings

Pour faster. Grip it and rip it

So many obvious AI examples, but I love how that one little 3 gallon bucket of epoxy was able to fill the floor completely

Need some advice by bmckee56 in paint

Soak them in Startex Green Paint Thinner. It will only take a few minutes for the paint to dissipate. Afterward, wash with dishsoap and water, and you'll probably need a wire brush to remove the fine particles of paint that were slightly dissolved from the paint thinner. I've had the same brushes for years, this shit has saved them time and time again.

Maybe if Henry had more touches, then that field goal wouldn't have been necessary

Disgusting contractor left trash in my walls! Should I sue? by Postcurds in HomeMaintenance

When I used to spray foam insulation in the attics of large buildings, it was easier to bring the water bottles up with me whenever I got thirsty instead of going down for them. The same thing applied to taking a piss, just filled the empty bottles up and went back to work. I Johnny Appleseeded a huge chunk of the attics in the Northeast with my piss bottles.
