See a paintbrush.
See a plastic-film tube the length of the brush plus a bit, and of a diameter to serve as a cuff over your hand and wrist.
See the lower end of the cuff stuck to the brush where the brush-fibres enter the handle.
See the cuff pulled inside out down over the fibres and
closed there by a pull-apart seal and hanging hole for display.
See that the handle is clear but the fibres are enclosed so that the brush is now packaged for purchase by you.
See yourself about to paint and pulling apart the seal enabling you to pull the cuff back over your hand and wrist.
See yourself doing clean-hand painting, pulling the cuff when you've finished back down over the brush again. sealing the opening over the wet brush and hanging it up.
See the brush [with emulsion paints only] staying reuseable for a long time especially if you add a few drops of water before sealing.

I'm not sure how the minimess part, or the unusual choice of diction are related, but a good idea nonetheless. Of course, this would only keep you clean for small, touch-uppy jobs, especially if you're clumsy like me. |
|
| |
This idea sounds so marvelous to me, that I can't believe it isn't baked. And the "see yourself" / "see the brush" diction is adorable and effective as far as I'm concerned. Up with the Minimess brush. |

The whole thing seems a bit unwieldy. Why not just throw
on a latex glove while painting? Make the cuff part very
attractive, maybe with some sort of cartoon character
design, and it might save a lot of clean-up time with
children. |

I would like several of these for my wife, who consistently gets more paint on the brush handle and her hands than on the target surface. A baked good for the gentleman. |
|
| |
I got the idea from watching dog-walkers using plastic bags pulled inside out to pick up droppings. |
|
| |
I dressed it up for the 'Bakery as a packaging system, but adapting it for home use, do this. |
|
| |
Put your hand in a plastic shopping bag. Rubber-band the open end to your arm. |
|
| |
Grab the brush handle from inside the bag and start painting. |
|
| |
When finished roll the band off and still holding the wet brush pull the bag down over it and let go the handle. |
|
| |
The brush is now in the bag. |
|
| |
So long as you're using water-thinnner paint the brush will stay wet for quite a while if you tie the top shut after adding a little water. |

Like it alot. Now just invent me something similar that stops me getting paint all over my head when I'm using a roller on the ceiling (and yes I've tried the 'cream cheese' paint, and wearing a plastic bag on my head)... |
|
| |
aww, getting messy is half the fun! |
|
| |
Excellent idea. Would you mind if i take that plastic bag and band idea and adapt it for handling hot foods? (not for the halfbakery, just for my kitchen). |
|
| |
This is a real find (I misread the title on the front page as "Mimeless Brush"). Excellent thinking. Take this roll! |
|
| |
Just wanted to churn this one to the top because it's such a fine idea. |
|
| |
I wonder why I'm for it... promotes
bad technique (ferrule should
never get wet with paint) Hand will
get sweaty. Hard to use spare
fingers for holding on to ladder
while adjusting grip/stance. If
paint is dripping onto your hand
you have a skills deficit and need
to work on that. Once paint gets
into the ferrule you are in a bad
way. |
|
| |
I guess this is a fishbone
swimming against the tide of
pastry. |
|

See all the halfbaked painters! |
