Got a weird tip from an old neighbor about painting my front door... and it worked
I was out painting my front door last month in Austin and this older guy walking his dog stopped and said I was holding the brush wrong. He told me to dip just the tip and use short vertical strokes instead of going side to side. I thought he was messing with me but I tried it and my door came out way smoother with no drips. I re-did the whole thing in about an hour and it looks better than when I used a roller. Has anyone else gotten random painting advice from a stranger that actually turned out good?

Dipping just the tip also works for caulking weirdly enough.

Butter knife is my go to for most of my caulk projects. I just dip the tip in water or mineral spirits after every few passes, wipes right off without sticking to everything. Works way better than trying to clean a big glob off the nozzle later. Way less mess and you get cleaner lines too, especially around corners or tight spots where your finger can't reach.
