Painting is the No. 1 do-it-yourself home improvement project, and here are my three favorite painting tips:
- Before using a new roller, spray it with a mister. Then roll off the excess water on a piece of cardboard. It removes the loose fibers, so they won’t end up on your wall.
- Instead of pouring paint directly into a tray, line the tray with a sheet of aluminum foil. No need to buy a liner, and it makes clean-up a snap.
- If you’re taking a break from painting, wrap the roller sleeve in a plastic bag, secure with a twist tie, and store it in the refrigerator.

I want to paint the tiles in my bedroom floor. I know I will need to prime them. Can I use garage floor paint to paint them?
Also, my kitchen floor has laminate flooring which is peeling, how can I repair them. I do have spare (extra) flooring, should I just pull them up and replace, or can I possible paint , if so, can you recommend and very good sealant to use over the floor? Thank you for your expedient assistance, I really do enjoy watching your programs on TV.
Hi guys,
I had seen on a previous show where Danny put some type of additive into paint that would eliminate the streaking on cabinets. Can you pleas tell me the name of it?
Thank you.
Hi Joe,have been trying to find your tip where you painted or stained a pine board to look old and weathered.
Hi, Terry,
Our team talked and we haven’t had a Simple Solutions segment on this topic (at least, it’s not immediately ringing any bells, but our content library goes back more than 20 years. :D).
However, this recent Best New Products segment features a product that ages wood: https://todayshomeowner.com/video/age-wood-furniture-in-minutes-for-a-beautiful-weathered-look/
Could this be what you’re referring to?
