How do you open a plastic-sealed paint can?

• <div><p>Although plastic-sealed paint cans can look tricky, you can open them with adjustable pliers in no time. Grip the plastic seal with the pliers and pull the seal up, moving around the seal until you’ve pried the plastic up in enough spots. Then, you can grab the seal and pop it off the top of the paint can. Depending on the strength of the seal, you may even be able to remove the seal with just your hands by pulling upwards.</p></div>

Q: How does improper hanging affect artwork?

• <div><p>Improper hanging can damage the artwork, misalign it, and decrease its visual appeal, potentially compromising its structural integrity.</p></div>

Q: Should I paint the walls or ceiling first?

• <div><p>This may come down to personal preference, but it&rsquo;s generally best to paint the ceiling before you paint the walls. Why? Painting the ceiling can be more physically demanding, and painting the ceiling last may result in drips or splatters that would mess up freshly painted walls. By painting the ceiling first, you&rsquo;ll avoid having to touch up walls after any painting accidents. It may not matter, though, if you&rsquo;re <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/painting-ceiling-same-color-as-walls.htm">painting the ceiling the same color as the walls</a>.</p></div>

Q: Should you remove baseboards before painting them?

• <div><p>You should typically be able to paint baseboards without removing them. If you <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-remove-baseboards.htm">remove baseboards</a> for painting, you risk creating large nail holes or cracks when putting them back in place after the job is complete. If you need to remove the feature, it is possible to remove baseboards, paint them in another location, and reinstall them.</p></div>

Q: Should you brush or roll ceiling paint?

• <div><p>Using a paint roller to paint your ceiling will allow you to cover the surface quicker and more evenly than using a brush. You may want to use a brush to cut in at the ceiling seam and around light fixtures, but it&rsquo;s much faster and easier to use a roller for the bulk of the job. </p></div>
