Done? Time to Seal Your Paint

One of the most daunting parts of any paint job is the clean-up, especially if the job lasts several days. So, rather than cleaning all your brushes at the end of each day only to use them again the next morning, a plastic bag with an airlock closure could present a convenient solution. Just cover your brush with the bag (as shown in this picture) and close it tightly to keep the air out.

This is ideal for those needing to pause their work without worrying about their paintbrushes becoming unusable. Then when you’re ready to start painting again, remove the cover and pick up where you left off!
