Store your paint brush overnight.
Cleaning your brushes and rollers after a days worth of painting is a must if you want to use the brushes for the next time you paint. However, for those multiple day projects when you will take up the next day where you left off, there is no need to clean your brushes every day. By following a simple procedure, you can leave your brushes full of paint, yet they will be ready to go for tomorrows painting tasks.
Instructions
1. Gather together all of your wet paint brushes and wet paint rollers when you are finished for the day.
2. Put each paint brush and roller in a plastic bag. Sandwich bags are fine, used plastic grocery bags work too..
3. Seal the bags tight. Twist ties work well for this, but bits of string or yarn work just as well. Tie the plastic tight around the handles. When you are ready to paint the next day, the brushes and rollers will still be wet with paint and ready to go.
