How to preserve latex paint


The white latex paint does not need to be retained because of no color difference; the remaining colored paint used can be properly retained, and the remaining latex paint can be used to repair the damaged paint surface to reduce color difference. At the same time, you should also remember the proportion of colored latex paint, to facilitate color adjustment when re-purchasing paint. Use a lid to cover the bucket with latex paint and put it in a cool place. The storage time after mixing with water is 10-20 days. Those without mixing with water are generally stored for half a year.






How to save tiles and floors



In order to avoid the color change caused by the moisture of tiles, kick lines and other materials, it is best to wrap the tiles and kick lines in plastic bags and place them in a relatively dry environment. In particular, the floor is more susceptible to moisture and deformation and color change during storage, so it is best to wrap the floor with a newspaper with water absorption and place it in a dry place.
