New Painting Products

There are many new painting products that are introduced to the public each year. Most commonly a few new tools or sundries are must have items. Below are some that I think will work out great.

*      Black and Decker Paint Stick  What a great idea especially for the homeowner. It looks like this tool will work best for painting interior walls and ceilings up to about 8 feet tall. This tool will fill a large market as most homes have 8 foot ceilings in them. There is no doubt that the job will go faster with this tool. I do not know how long the life expectancy is, or if the wear parts will be replaceable. I can tell you that less time in the bucket is always welcome. http://www.blackanddecker.com/productguide/product-details.aspx?productid=13665&toolview=3

*      Franmar Soy Gel  I have always hated getting the chemical stripper out, everything about it just stinks. I have tried the alternative citrus based strippers with minimal success. It is truly nice to see that a Soy based product works so well. Keep up the good work. http://www.franmar.com/index.php?cPath=21

*       Duck Products curved painters tape. A great idea that should sell for a long time. This will definitely save the professional painter or homeowner time and money.              http://duckproducts.com/products/subcategory.asp?CatID=1&SubID=2

*      Shurtape Razor Edge Tape  A wonderful new product that is designed to leave clean edges when taping off a textured surface. You can leave the tape on for up to 60 days and remove it cleanly. This product will be useful to the professional painter as well as homeowner.                                              http://www.shurtape.com/Default.aspx?TabId=79&ProductID=153&DisplayType=1
