Is it okay to wash paint brushes in the sink?

• <div><p>You can clean water-based paint from brushes in the sink and allow the waste water to go down the drain. However, one<a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/home-painting-tips.htm"> tip to remember during a painting project</a> is that it's illegal to allow oil-based paint or its cleaning solutions, even organic ones, down the drain and into the sewer system.</p></div>

How can I stop paint from bubbling?

• <div><p>To make sure the paint won’t bubble as you apply it, make sure to paint on a day that’s cooler than 85 degrees Fahrenheit. When the temperature is too high, the paint won’t dry evenly, which can result in bubbles forming on the surface. Another way to prevent paint from bubbling is to clean the walls, apply primer, and let everything dry completely before you begin.</p></div>
