There are only so many hours in a day and sometimes you need to turn it in, mid-project. Stopping during a painting job can be tricky since paint rollers and brushes dry out overnight, rendering them useless the next day.

An efficient way to solve this issue is to keep rollers and brushes wet overnight, so they are ready to go the next day. To do this, all you need to do is cover them tightly in plastic.

Before you wrap a paint roller, dip it in paint and then wrap it in plastic, ensuring the sides are tightly tied with twist ties or elastic bands. Once the roller is wrapped tight store it in a cool place. Some people even store their rollers in the fridge!
