I know this is obvious to many but it never actually made me realise why I procrastinated so much over touch-ups until I thought about it!
The thought of lumbering the huge emulsion tub or paint tin from the garage, stirring it and generally setting everything up just didn't seem worth it to deal with a small area that needed touching up. Then no sooner than everything is put away, I find another area that needs attention.
So, I'm wanting to create a little box of paints and brushes etc to store in a utility room for the next episode and I've got two questions:
Firstly, I was going to simply use glass jars that had something like jam or gherkins in them to store the paint but after testing a jar with water by shaking it upside down I realised it's not airtight. I am assuming it needs to be so, therefore, has anyone got any ideas that would be better to store paint that's either cheap to buy or could be reused?
Secondly, what tips or other items would be useful for this box? I think a mini roller and tray for walls? A little stirring stick, small bottle of white spirit, newspaper etc.
Thanks very much.
