Cracks & Crevices

[northie66]

Is there an easier way to paint in small cracks and crevices?  Like when doing name signs, the inside of the "e" or inbetween letters.  I seem to be ruining brushes jamming them in there.

Janet, I use pipe cleaners alot in applying paint in small areas. They are cheap,flexable and can be cut to size with scissors.   MIKE

That's a great tip.

Hey Janet, You might look into an airbrush. Google airbrush and see what you can find. You might like what you see!

I thinned paint and then dipped.  Then when dry you can just give the flat part a normal coat of paint with sponge or brush.  I like the sponge because it doesn't "wipe off" into the holes like a brush does.

ALL great ideas!  Thanks!

I do the thinned paint and dipping. Sometimes I use cheap artist brushes I buy in a pack from Walley World.

How about having your lady friends save their old 'make-up' brushes?

Q-TIPS work very well also. They also work with glue.
