As experienced painters know, drips and smudges strike fast during any project. You dip your brush, wipe it on the bucket rim, and suddenly paint is everywhere—on the can, floor, and beyond.
Here's a tried-and-true professional trick to keep things spotless: apply masking tape around the bucket edge like this.
1. Grab a roll of masking tape.
2. Cut two equal strips of tape.
3. Affix the strips to form a V-shape over the bucket's rim.
4. Dip your brush into the paint.
5. Wipe the excess on the tape before removing the brush.
Perfect! Now paint without splatters or messes.
Quick, simple, and highly effective—backed by years of on-site experience.
No more stained buckets or floors. Everything stays pristine.
Bonus: Fold the tape into a spout for easy pouring into another container. A game-changer for pros and DIYers alike.
