Shur-Line Handi Painter #01500C
This Sur-Line Handi Painter (#01500C) almost disappeared from the market. Among the many new quirky gadgets that are designed to apply paint to tricky little places, this little old Handi Painter is my all-time favorite. Here is why:
This item and a common glass bread pan make painting simple. Once you get the hang of managing the paint load in the tool, painting is no longer daunting.
Pour a little paint into the bread pan. Play with loading the painter while you are still on the ground.
Touch the painter fibers to the surface of the paint. Dab it on a disposable surface. Dip the painter no farther than the green foam and fiber depth. Repeat until the painter is loaded. Lightly scrape the Handi Painter's edges on the edge of the bread pan. This removes excess paint.
Briefly study the direction of the fibers, and how it affects the application and behavior of the paint on a test surface. Use this to your advantage, along with wrist action to push the paint where you want it to go.
Now, up the ladder you go -- you can leave the bread pan on the ground. You won't need it often. Or, you can take it with you if you are nimble. If you are not, then you should not be up on a ladder anyway.
Make a little test swipe on the wall to get started. You have control over the angles and twists with wrist action. Push the painter upward, while moving it horizontally; then, downward. Simulate an arc motion.
As you move the painter toward a corner or joint, slide the painter parallel to the adjacent surface. Watch as the paint advances ahead of the direction in which you push. The painter does not need to touch the adjacent surface.
By doing this in short sections, and drawing downward before lifting the painter, you should be able to cut in neatly and quickly. Use the edges and flat surface of the painter to feather the edges away from the adjacent surfaces. Later, you can paint the entire surface with the painter.
Painting the entire flat surface is easily accomplished by swiping the paint onto the surface in the same arc motion described above. Work in small areas, feathering, and then finishing by lightly pulling downward.
What's really special about this painter is that you can press harder and work it back and forth over orange-peel textured surfaces. Then, smooth with a finishing downward stroke. The little pockets in the texture will fill with paint, and you will not have speckles of old color showing through later.
I've tried the other gadgets, and they mimic one or two advantages of the Handi Painter. None give me the full range of motion and control that this one does.
This painter is deceptively simple; yet, an enormously powerful tool for painting.
