Q: Which type of paint is the heaviest when dry?

• <div><p>The heaviest paint when dry is paint that has a thick pigment and additives like sand or some other aggregate. Oil-based paints can take the longest to dry because of their thicker pigments and higher densities, while water-based paints might be lighter when dry because the weight of the water reduces as it evaporates from the paint.</p></div>

Q: Will house painters expect a tip?

• <div><p>While painters won&rsquo;t expect a tip, they may accept one if you offer&mdash;which means any amount of tipping you do is above and beyond, even if it&rsquo;s just $10 or $20 per painter. Instead of monetary tips, many painters prefer their customers to leave them positive online reviews, which can line their pockets in the form of future business opportunities.</p></div>

Q: How long after wet-sanding drywall can I paint?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s important to wait until the drywall is completely dry before <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-paint-walls.htm">painting the wall</a>. This can take up to 24 hours. If you paint while the drywall is still wet, the paint could bubble, peel, or have trouble sticking to the wall. To speed up the drying process, you can turn on a fan, run a dehumidifier, or open windows.</p></div>
