Painting Tips - - Last Bit of Paint

A helpful tip to add to your painting knowledge.

By Marion Boddy-Evans, About.com

I get the last out of a tube of paint by using scissors to cut off the end, then scrape out all with a small spatula or anything small enough.
Tip from: Nora Ortega.

After you have rolled that paint tube until there's no more room to roll, but you are annoyed because you can still see paint in there, grab your canvas stretching pliers. Mine have nice wide jaws that are perfect for getting that last dollop of paint out of a tube.
