  2. separate bristles of paint brush with tape to create a smaller paint brush
  3. get rid of lint on paint rollers with tape
  4. use butter to mask the parts that you don’t want paint on

See for yourself what hacks Bea gave a yea or nay!

  1. clean the brush in a bowl of warm water and dish soap, then brush or comb out the stubborn dried paint that didn’t dissolve in the water and soap mix
  2. put a dryer sheet in a basin of warm water (not HOT!) then put the unwashed brush on top of the dryer sheet and leave to soak
  3. warm up some vinegar, put it in a bottle, soak the brush, then comb out the dried paint using a fork
  4. whack the hardened bristles with a hammer, then brush out the dried paint from the bristles

Hacks on Rust Removal

Hacks on Rust Removal

Remember Bea saying while she tested the butter hack in this latest video that she did not have a good experience with using food items in hacks?  It’s because she had a dismal experience when she tested hacks on rust removal that used vinegar, lemon, potato + salt, and ketchup. But you know, sometimes one is in for a surprise, and the butter hack is one of them.
