DIY fan reveals £1.49 way to paint entire fence in minutes – but it’s really divided opinions
A DIY fan has revealed her easy hack to painting a fence in minutes and without a paint brush.
The woman shared how the simple trick is using a car sponge – but her decorating method has divided opinions.
In a clip which has racked up hundreds of likes, she explained: “Today I’m finding out, can I use a car washing jumbo sponge to paint a fence panel.
“Now apparently this hack makes it super easy to paint a fence panel because using a brush can be a bit annoying, a bit tedious.
“And using a spray can be complicated and also expensive, especially when you haven’t got a shed like me and you just got a sprayer you’ve got to keep for ages.”
The DIY fan tried out the technique and showed how you could quickly cover a panel with paint.
However, she wasn’t 100 per cent sold on the idea.
Posting on her @watchsharesave TikTok account, she explained: “I put the paint in a tray, dunked the sponge in and then used the sponge to apply the paint to the fence.
“I’ve got to say it wasn’t as easy as I thought it would be.”
People were quick to take to the comments, with one saying: “Cut the sponge in half, put on gloves and use like a paint brush.
“Have used this several times and when you get used of using it, its easy.”
While some liked using a sponge, others said that a “floor brush” is a better item to use.
Others said that sponges soak up too much paint to be effective.
One person commented: “always use a roller so, much quicker.”
