Want to get out and play today, but you've got painting to do first? Today you'll learn how to speed up the work and to avoid a time-wasting mess. Here's the scoop: one of the most time-consuming tasks in painting is preparing your room and covering everything you don't want paint on. Generally, large areas are covered first with a plastic drop cloth or newspapers. Then, all edges and seams are sealed to prevent movement or leakage should there be a substantial spill. This is why pre-taped plastic drop cloths are a hit with those who want to get in, get done, and get out ASAP! They come in various widths from 12 inches to 12 feet and in lengths from 60 to 180 feet. They're edged with premium blue painter's tape and have optional roll dispensers that make speedy application a snap. Want to get out and play today?
