A paint roller debris deposit pad for holding excess paint and debris from a painted surface includes a mount which is removably coupled to a paint roller frame. The mount includes a pair of retention tabs. Each of the retention tabs is attached to and extends frontwardly from a respective one of a top edge and a bottom edge of the mount. A plurality of couplers is attached to and extends rearwardly from the rear surface wherein each of the plurality of couplers removably couple the mount to the paint roller frame. A pad is removably coupled to the mount using the retention tabs. The pad receives and holds any excessive paint and debris found and removed from a surface after being painted by a paint roller.

One embodiment of a container for transferring, storing, and dispensing paint indefinitely for touch-up painting by the use of a plurality of open-ably close-able apertures (310, 320) that cause transferring, storing, and dispensing of paint, in conjunction with a plurality of paint storage areas (1391, 153) that are independently open-ably sealable to allow for various functions such as, sealed storing of paint in one paint storage area while doing touch-up painting from another paint storage area, moving paint from external paint source to a paint storage area, moving paint between paint storage areas. Using standard (180, 190), as well as custom paint applicators allowing for ease of use, and with various features that allow for use with no clean up needed, such as replaceable components (121, 130, 170, 180, 190, 191, 192, 250) non-stick components (121, 130, 141), integral paint tray (130), paint containment features such as paint retaining walls (130) and paint catching recesses (130, 140). Carrying Tray (210) prevents spilling and holds replaceable parts (121, 130, 170, 180, 190, 191, 192, 250) for storage and transport. Other embodiments are described and shown.

A wiping device for removing fluid material from a mixing paddle. The wiping device includes a contact portion and an accumulation portion that downwardly extends from a lower end of the contact portion. A passage extends through the contact portion and the accumulation portion and is adapted for receiving the mixing paddle therethrough. An upper portion of the passage is located within the contact portion and is sized and shaped to contact opposed sides of the mixing paddle to wipe the fluid material off of the opposed sides of the mixing paddle when the contact portion is moved along the opposed sides of the mixing paddle. A lower portion of the passage located within the accumulation portion forms a cavity in fluid flow communication with the upper portion of the passage in the contact portion.

An apparatus and method of applying a finish or paint coating in a prefinishing or finishing line to a fencing panel or picket that disguises the screen-back texture of the engineered wood substrate. After paint or similar coating is applied (such as by one or more spray nozzles) to a face to a fence picket or fencing product or component, the fence picket passes under a roller, brush, or roller brush or similar paint applicator while the paint is still wet. The roller/brush removes some of the paint and applies an angled pattern to the face, which disguises the screen-back texture of the substrate.

A condiment container that includes a hollow lower sidewall having a bottom with an inwardly projecting shelf. The lower sidewall defines a lower cavity and a false bottom is captured within the lower sidewall. An upper portion extends from the lower sidewall to define an upper cavity. That upper portion includes an upper front wall with a first height, a higher upper rear wall, a first side neck wall, a second side neck wall, and a top wall. A condiment pack and a toothed track are located within the lower cavity. Moving the false bottom toward the top wall causes the toothed track to rupture the condiment pack. The top wall has a slot for condiment in the ruptured pack to leave the container. At least one serrated edge is disposed along the slot to enable spreading the released condiment.
