alright now that we got her a little bit of nuttiness out of the way we can talk
about the Bob Ross beater rack which is a great little tool to help keep your
paint brushes clean and keeping your paint brushes clean have kind of
multitude of effects that's gonna help you as a painter one it's gonna keep
your paint brushes lasting longer over time which is awesome for when you spend
that hard-earned money number two is it's really gonna help stop
contamination of colors when you clean off your paint brush every time you take
your paintbrush and you bring it across you're wiping off the excess paint that
you don't need that you don't want contaminating another color super
important but is the bob ross beater rack really worth the money well let's
take a look the Bob Ross beater rack is really nothing more than a wire rack
that's vinyl coated designed to fit inside a wastebasket you can normally
find this on amazon between 10 and 15 USD so use the beat rack correctly you
essentially only need a few items number one is the most important you need a waste
bin that you can drop the rack into now if you're not sure what to shop for
online I'll put a few down in the video description below that you can click
through that'll be perfect but if you want to find one at like a big box store
or discount store which you can probably find for cheaper just being honest I'm
gonna put the dimensions of the rack here on screen so that way you have the
proper dimensions to shop when you go to those stores you're welcome number two
is something you've already have at your house which is a tall kitchen bag to set
up your beat rack all you need to do is drop in that
all kitchen bag into the trashcan there then drop in your beat rack now the
reason you want the tall kitchen bag is because it makes cleanup of breeze when
you take your paintbrush full of paint and thinner and you beat it off inside
that trash can you're gonna have thinner go everywhere
and you're gonna have paint go everywhere which means when you just
take that kitchen bag and pull it up and wad-it into a ball and throw it away hey
you're done with cleanup which is awesome now beating off isn't hard
you've probably been doing for quite some time simply take your paintbrush
and dip it into some paint thinner that has a screen on the bottom and drag it
across to work off the bigger chunks of pigment then take your paintbrush stick
it into your trash bin and beat it off back and forth across the beater rack
this will work off all the excess paint now I personally like to touch the sides
of the trashcan to work off the excess thinner that might be hanging off the
end to your bristles you don't have to do that that's just something I like to
do but once you pull your paintbrush out trust me it is beautifully clean and
pretty much air dry the bob ross beat rack seems like a simple and dumb piece
of equipment but it's actually a vital part of equipment because it's actually
gonna help you paint better now it's not just for cleaning your paintbrushes but
it's also good for knocking off excess paint that's already on your paintbrush
think about how much you struggle with clouds when you have to fluff that's why
because there's a lot of extra paint on your paintbrush
taking it inside the trash can and beating it off against the rack is gonna
help take off a lot of that excess paint so when you fluff it's just gonna touch
it slightly and give it that little kiss of air going through which is why this
is awesome now can I recommend it for the money
yeah I would between 10 and 15 bucks that's a very good deal however you can
make this for cheaper if you don't have access to it or if you just want to put
a little more effort into making your own if you're interested in a video just
like that I almost dropped it let me know in the comments below and I'll show
you how to make your own cleaning system for Bob Ross paintings that you're just
gonna love all right I wanna give you an awesome bonus tip that I've never really
seen anyone ever talk about when you buy your trashcan you can buy a lid for it so
that way it helps enclose the vapors from escaping
because you don't want to be breathing it in because yeah that's not healthy
for you but sometimes you can't get a trash can with the lid which is why I
recommend using a junk towel that you can just lay on top of the waste bin
when you're not using it to stick your paintbrush in there and beat it off this
will help stop and prevent the vapors from just floating around in the air
hence you breathing them in also please note yeah
odor of thinners turpenoid all those things are bad for to breathe in so
please be in a well-ventilated room okay but no joke just putting a spare junk
towel on top of the waste bin is gonna help a lot you're gonna thank me I'm
actually astonished I didn't have a lot more Freudian slips saying the word beat-off
a lot of times in this video but hey we have some fun now there's a product that
you would like me to review whether it be a bob ross product or any product
