Two Acrylic Painting Accessories I Love
May 14, 2019
I have a lot of paint in metal tubes. The metal tubes can be a pain to work with sometimes. They get stiff and can be difficult to open. Recently I've discovered two tools that have made it so much easier:
PAINT KEY
This is a paint key:
The paint tube inserts into the gap in the key.
You then use the key to help roll the tube up and get all of the paint out!
It's simple and works really well. And when you've completely used up a tube of paint, you can re-use the paint key! (If you don't want to reuse them, that's okay, they're pretty inexpensive.)
GOLDEN GRIPR
This thing is genius.
No more pliers. (No more teeth!) I can open tubes so easily now. I love it! It has differently shaped openings...
...for differently shaped caps.
You match the cap to the correct opening in the Gripr...
...and then screw it off like it's not glued shut with dried paint!
So, there you have it! Two simple plastic tools that have made my life so much better!
Thanks for stopping by!
