Cling Film

[paddy graham]

You all may know this one but its new to me.As I hate washing paint trays after use I read that if you line them with Cling Film you just swill them out after use.

I have heard it too, you can even buy thin plastic liners for the tray now.
Good post you just reminded me to buy ceiling paint.

You can also wrap the paintbrush with clingfilm instead of washing it out, if you haven't finished and want to start again the following day!

I have used cling film on paint trays, it works but you need to use quite a bit.

I just use any plastic bag I can find. Carrier bags he brings home, bags clothing comes in, anything really! We wrap paintbrushes in any plastic, cut down carrier bags etc. Clingfilm is just too expensive when you have tatty plastic bags available.

We usually have plenty as I fuse them and make pockets, lunch bags etc out of them!

I use a black bin bag when using paint trays they work a treat and very cheap.
