I’m a DIY whizz & have the perfect 80p trick that speeds up the painting process & it’s so easy to do
PAINTING is a long and arduous chore that many of us try and put off for as long as possible.
It’s both time-consuming and expensive if you don’t have the correct equipment for the job – after all, a paint sprayer can cost hundreds, if not thousands when bought brand new.
But a DIY whizz has revealed the clever hack that can speed up the painting process while keeping costs low – and you’ll never need a paintbrush again.
And the best part of all? You’ve already got it in your house.
In a clip posted to TikTok (@homeasperations), the DIY fan begins by pulling on a latex glove, before then putting a glove (or sock) over the top and dipping it into a tray of white paint.
Next, she moves her hands up and down the banister and the paint appears to simply glide on the wood.
“Have you seen this painting hack?” she asks.
“Use a latex glove or glove/sock….then just use your hand to paint.

“This makes it easy to paint!”
The DIY fan captioned the post: “I saw this painting hack once here on TikTok (can’t remember who, but shout out to you friend!) and thought I’d give it a try.
“This is a great way to paint annoying things like stair spindles.
“I’m also going to test it on furniture legs.”
The post has since gone viral, racking up over 47k views and several comments from very impressed social media users.
“Smart….” praised one.
A second enthused: “Huh, this would work on outside porch spindles probably, thanks!”
Fabulous previously told how one woman come to rely on the handy hack over the past few years and argued that a simple paint brush can’t achieve the same flawless finish.
“So the sock method is a painting method that I’ve been using for a few years,” she explained.
