The Easy Way to Remove Excess Paint

Believe it or not, removing excess paint doesn't need to be a messy job. All you need is a rubber band and your paint tin. Then, simply place the rubber band over your paint can. Then when you are ready to paint, dip your paintbrush into the paint container and brush off the excess against the rubber band. As pictured, you should be able to do this with one smooth motion.

Compared to wiping your paintbrush on the edge of the can, you are way less likely to create any additional mess. Kiss goodbye to cakes of paint around the edges of your paint cans!
