Painting tip:
Never dip your paintbrush directly into the can—too unwieldy, too sloppy, too dangerous if the container slips or drips. For optimum control, pour paint into a small metal "cut bucket" with a liner and fill it only
a third of the way. Bonus: Any paint left in the can stays pristine this way.
After dipping, wipe one side of the brush on the inside lip of the can to remove excess paint. This way you'll have a dry edge and a wet edge for tight cut lines.
