Lining Your Roller Tray
Using a roller to do some painting around the house makes your life a lot easier. However, cleaning the paint tray afterward is not as easy. Plastic paint trays and liners can help, but they can be quite expensive.
So why spend more money on those things when a cheaper solution is in your kitchen drawer? Simply wrap the tray with foil and your problem is solved. What’s more. You can throw it away once you’re done and there’s no cleaning needed.
Prevents Paint From Skinning
If you’re a DIY type of person, you’ve probably encountered the issue of paint skinning. If you leave a can of paint out for a few days and the lid isn’t on tightly then the paint begins to solidify.
Once that happens, you can pretty much kiss the can goodbye because painting with hardened paint causes more mess than anything else. If you place a piece of foil in the can, that will prevent skinning and your paint will stay fresh.
