Use Tampon To Fix Painting Mistakes

When painting a room, if you find the touch up tedious, use a tampon. This is how it works. Push a small portion from the applicator. Dip just the tip in the paint. Remove the drip. Blot on the mistake whereas your paint touched the ceiling or vise versa.

If you are having a problem painting the trim, dip the tampon into your trim paint, remove the drip and hold it as if using a crayon. You will be able to paint the portion of your trim instead of your wall.

Be careful not to get too close to your ceiling. You can use an eyeshadow applicator. You can also use the applicator in the corners and any tiny areas whereas nothing else will do the job.

If you need to touch up areas using more than one color, just cut off the used portion of the tampon and you are ready to go on to the next color.

You'll have a clean paint job. It took less time than with a brush, a few choice words and a lot of frustration.
