Alongside your paint and paintbrush, a small tool organizer can help make things much easier and minimize the risk of an error. What are some of the other common mistakes to watch out for?
One of the most common mistakes people make is spilling the paint while working on a ladder. Our Spider Tool Dock is the perfect solution to prevent this from happening and enhance the efficiency of your painting. You can easily drill this to the side of the ladder, allowing you to securely hang your paint can from it. This not only reduces the risk of it falling to the ground, but it also allows you to access it with ease, making painting at heights easier and safer. |
2. Bumping the ceiling
Another common mistake DIY painters make is bumping the ceiling with their paintbrush or roller, permanently marking it. To avoid this, carefully run a horizontal strip at the top of the wall to create a buffer zone.
3. Over brushing
If you are painting woodwork or doors, it can be tempting to continue brushing the same area as the paint dries. However, this causes unsightly ridges and brush marks, so try to avoid overpainting and focus on using one or two strokes at most.
