What it concludes

• Paint is a mixture, not a solution, and starts separating as soon as you stop shaking it.
• Painting from inside the brush helps prevent paint buildup on the ferrule.
• The first coat of paint on new or textured walls adds a smooth and silky acrylic layer.
• Keeping your edge wet by working in one section at a time prevents lap marks.
• Sanding between coats and leaving the sanding dust on the wall improves the coverage of the next coat.
• Tinting white paint with colorant provides better hiding capability.
