Best Heat Guns – Paint Removal Tool Review

Preparing a surface for paint is a process not worth overlooking. There are really two ways to best strip off paint.

Extension Wands and Poles for Paint Sprayers

Best Safety Glasses You Can Use for Painting

October 13, 2019 By

Painting is a simple enough task that anyone can do. But just like any other task that involves tools and chemicals, extra protection is needed.

Some people think that all they have to do before painting is put some old newspapers down to shield the floor from rogue drops or wear old shirts and jeans just in case you spill paint on yourself.

Goggles can give you extra eye protection because you never know what can happen when you’re painting. Solvents and even paint are toxic and can get into the membranes of the eye and it’s not something you want to have deal with.
