I've used credit cards for spreading paint in a large area, and often use them when applying primer to a panel. Maybe one of these days I'll try painting some detail with them.

I wear a glove underneath and slip my hand into the sock and the toe area becomes the brush. The pressure it what determines the outcome.Once again the whole arm becomes involved but a twitch of a finger does magical things.<br />juliefordoliver.blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07186754679744000743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4203287968430038256.post-67911548402260876432013-02-24T07:48:06.996-07:002013-02-24T07:48:06.996-07:00WOW.
