Wrap brushes or rollers tightly in plastic wrap or foil

Wrap wet brushes or rollers in plastic wrap or aluminum foil to create an airtight seal that stops the paint from drying out. Keeps applicators usable for several hours to a full day without cleaning.

Steps

1. Scrape excess paint from the brush or roller against the can edge or tray ramp. Do not rinse.
2. For brushes, wrap the bristles tightly in plastic wrap or foil, sealing around the ferrule to block air.
3. For rollers, wrap the entire cover in plastic wrap or slide it into a zip-top bag, squeezing out air before sealing.
4. Store flat in a cool spot out of direct sunlight.

Tips

• Works with both latex and oil-based paints
• Double-wrap for overnight storage to ensure a tighter seal
• A rubber band around the ferrule holds the wrap securely in place
