Hints and Tips

Paint

1. Buy white emulsion as you can use this to mix up with your acrylic paint, to make lots of different shades, at half the price.

2. Flies stuck on newly painted surfaces .
Don’t try and pick the flies out of the wet paint. Leave the paint to dry overnight and the flies can be wiped away with a damp cloth next day often without any trace.

3. After you’ve used all that glitter on your Christmas cards, don’t just put it back into the drawer until next year, mix it in with clear varnish and paint over sections in your mural, all of a sudden seahorses sparkle and there’s a milky way in your space scene.

4. To save re-plastering a room, paint over the existing wallpaper in white or cream paint. If it’s still up the next day, then you can just paint your mural right over the top.
