Pads

•     Pad and sponge painters are made in a variety of shapes and sizes. Pads can be useful in tight spots; however, they hold less paint than conventional brushes and rollers.

•     Painting strokes must be all in one direction. Never paint back over the just-painted area.

•     Pads can be washable or disposable. It's also a good idea to use a tray when painting with pads.
