Pringles chip cans work great for rollers.

I've put them in zip lock baggies without freezing them.

For rollers I would agree...I use a cheapo plastic grocery bag between days...but I like to use good quality brushes...so I clean these at the end of each session

I'm with KMS I do wash out my brushes, but as KMS said I to use Purdy brushes only and they are quite costly

I thought that popsicle tasted funny.

Last year,I was hired to paint a factory's floors & walls.About 24,000 square feet.What I did was slide my long rollers & brushes into a large trash bag & twist the bag around the extention pole.I used that roller for a whole week doing this where it wouldn't dry out.

It does work...great tip

The freezer part came from the "old" days when people used oil based paints...freezing latex is not so great...All you need to do is keep the air away...that is why the plastic works.

Another favorite painting trick.... cut the top three inches off a two litter bottle, fill it with water, rinse the rollers, soak roller in it. The paint will fall into those nubs at the bottom of the bottle. Rinse and repeat. That tip is priceless!

Hi Allison, I've even put saran wrap around a tray containing latex paint. It holds the moisture and is good to go the next day.

I am not a professional painter, so I do not wash my brushes or rollers until the project is finished either. I have used grocery sacks for years & freeze them. One tip, if you are in a hurry to thaw them, do not microwave them like I did! What a genius I am!LOL

Wow, thanks for the tip. Never knew that.

Another tip is to take a large rubber band and wrap it around the open can of paint so it spans across the top. Use it to wipe the brush after dipping into the paint. This way the edge of the paint can does not fill with paint and make drip over the side or make it harder to clean up when putting top back on

yes, it does work. we wrap plastic grocery bags to wrap around and tie in the ref till next day to paint. And thanks for other tips.

Don't try to freeze any kind of water base paint. It ruins the paint. That is why in cold climates, it is not a good idea to store paint in the garage. Instead, just use the refrigerator.

Thank you Kass, I love gleaning wisdom from you oh "Great One." Your new painted fabric samples are amazing. You are so creative!

Before you put your bagged roller pan in the fridge, spritz the roller, tray and the inside of the bag with a mist of water and you're good to go for a couple of days.

Hi Allison,I believe this subject has been covered pretty well. Although plastic bags work well by keeping your paint from drying on your brush and roller. I would only suggest using this process when you are tired and you do not have time to clean your brush. A

good brush will last years if you clean it well and put it back in the cover when you are

done with it. Sometimes the paint will get into the base of the bristles when you wrap up and ...»

Allison! Where are you!!!!??? Come Back! Haven't seen you here in a very long time!!!!
