Putty Knife The putty knife removes trenches and opens up cracks to create sufficient room for a filler. It also removes excess filler to level up the repaired surface. Wall Filler A filler repairs cracks and holes in the walls. Some fillers feature a nozzle and tube for easy application. Painter’s Tape Painting contractors use this tape to cover places they don’t want to paint, such as trim and baseboards. The painter’s tape doesn’t damage walls once removed. Hand Masker The hand masker clasps the painter’s tape, helping painting contractors apply it easily and in straight lines. Brushes Painting contractors should choose the suitable bristle type for their paint finish. For example, synthetic hair brushes are ideal for different types of paint. Use natural bristles when applying oil-based paints for a smooth finish.
