TIP #3: Painting: Obviously, you want to take as little time as possible painting. So you might think that it would be a good idea to dip the brush all the way into the can of paint so you can get more paint on the brush at once. DON'T do that. You should not dip the brush in past 1/3 of the length of the bristles. Otherwise, it can cause clumping, not to mention that this method means easier cleaning – and who doesn't want that?
