Have you ever wondered if you've really, I mean really squeezed out all of the paint from your paint tube? I have. Lots of times. I've even been known to cut my tubes to get at the last possible drop. Hey, when you really need Paynes grey and all the stores are closed, you do what you have to do!

Not any more! 

Enter: Super cool, industrial paint squeezer. No, that is not the actual name. But it's the best I can do because I actually do not know what it is called.

One of my students brought this nifty tool into class and I feel in love. Get it at Mona Lisa Art. Yes, you can also use it for your toothpaste.

PS In my experience, the plastic roller thigies do not work.

PPS A little digging on Goggle and I found out what it's really called: Tube wringer! What a great stocking stuffer for Sam!

I KNOW I don't use every drop of paint from that tube and it drives the perfectionist in me, CRAZY! Brilliant. I heart your student.

Hey Sam
I see that after the tube is empty, The tube itself becomes a tool for applying texture to the painting.
