I tried looking for a sponge/jelly paint brush in the trades, but I just can't find one! Does anyone have one or know of anyone that is selling one?Sponge or Jelly paint brush?
You're not going to find those paint brushes anywhere because they don't exist! Sponge and Jelly are Lab Ray exclusive colors. That means the only way to turn a pet Sponge or Jelly would be to use the lab ray. You could hope to get lucky and come across someone who fosters lab rats who has zapped a pet into Sponge or Jelly, but there's no guarantee that you'd get the pet. (See the link below for more information about the lab ray, including a list of lab ray exclusive colors.)
Good luck!

Should I try sponging to change the paint in my kitchen?
I painted my kitchen last year and I'm growing tired of the color now. You can consider it either a light gold or light mustard-yellow. My kitchen isn't big at all so instead of painting the whole thing over, I thought I'de try a fun technique such as rag-rolling or sponging. Any tips on how to do this? Which colors should I go with? I'm assuming it would have to be colors in the yellow family - how many different shades should I use?Should I try sponging to change the paint in my kitchen?
I've done sponging many times. I actually prefer doing the feathering with a brush instead. You can buy products that are meant for just that purpose. They have the clear gloss in them so they are more translucent. You can make your own too. I suggest you go back to the paint shop. Tell them what you want to do, the colour you have, and they can guide you as to what colours and products will work best and show you samples as well.
Work in small patches when you start too because the paint will thicken and dry up, so no more than 2 foot by 2 foot areas at a time.
Home Depot actually has courses that are free on the weekends you can attend and even practice these things.Should I try sponging to change the paint in my kitchen?
I've seen sponging done and I'm not the biggest fan of it. It has to be done pretty well and with just the right colors to look well. And up close it doesn't look that good. Sponging looks better when looked at from a distance. Also it's not the quickest to do. It would probably be faster and look better if you just repainted it a solid color. You're already sick of the yellow and the yellow color will still somewhat be there, so it probably won't be long before you get tired of the sponged look that still has that yellow color in it that you are already sick of.
If you still decide that you want to do sponging. I recommend that you practice on a piece of cardboard first and only buy a small amount of paint, just enough to practice, instead of enough to do the whole room. Paint the cardboard the same color as your room. Then try sponging the cardboard (about a 12';x12'; piece or larger will do) and see if you like the look. Then get some painter's tape and put a ring of painter's tape on the back and stick the finished cardboard piece on the wall and see if you like the look. It's better to do a test painting on carboard, instead of wasting money by buying enough to do the whole room then finding out you don't like the look of it. I can raise my hand to doing that mistake before.
I honestly dont think sponging would make your kitchen better. I really think it would make it ugly also that technique is from the 1990s so its really outdated. But I will suggest maybe going with striping by using painters tape. You could also go with maybe a two tone. I think striping will give the illusion of taller walls and depth. I think if you keep it simple it will look the best.Mini Scooter

Kitchen Sponge scratched car paint?
I was washing my car today, and without thinking of examining the sponge I used it. I now see scratches all over my car, not deep, but visible. What do I do to fix this.
I do not want the response go to a body/paint shop. Looking for store products that can helpKitchen Sponge scratched car paint?
Start with the least aggressive compound, then move up if it doesn't work. I'd start with Scratch X, apply using a foam applicator and work in small areas. If that doesn't work, you cna move up to something like Ultimate Compound (both are Meguiars products), but be careful with it and follow the directions. Rubbing compounds are abrasive, and used improperly can cause as much, if not more, damage than your sponge. Once you've finished, polish and wax to protect the paint. For future use if you'd like, there's a nice write up on detailing here: http://www.squidoo.com/showcardetailingKitchen Sponge scratched car paint?
3M makes several products that will take the scratches out. You want to use a light duty rubbing compound. You can buy these products at any auto parts store...Autozone, Advanced Auto, Napa, ect.. You can take the scratches out, using this product, by hand. If the scratches are all over the car you might want to have it buffed, as this will be faster?
Just use a wax with a fine polishing agent - and throw that sponge away.
man idk but all i gotta say is i bet you were pissed off that sucks man

Can I clean my painted turtles shell with a sponge?
yes it is entirely possible, in-fact i clean all of my turtles shells with old toothbrushes and those work fine as well,
(just be shure if you ever own a soft-shell turtle that you don't use any abrasive on its shell as it could tear)Can I clean my painted turtles shell with a sponge?
Chances are, you do not need to. If there is a good reason for doing it (in other words, not to make it look pretty), you will do better with an old toothbrush.Can I clean my painted turtles shell with a sponge?
i don't know why you wouldn't be able to, just make sure the sponge is clean and you wash your hands after. Don't use soap.
I don't see why not. As long as you're gentle and wash them thoroughly you should be fine. Not too much water or any hard scrubbing though. I love turttlesss!
put them in boiling water. they'll become clean and shiny~ trust me ^-^
yes

I've got a really strong desire to smell paint and turpentine and to put sponge in my mouth.?
Like a washing up sponge. It's driving me mad, I can't stop thinking about it.
Anyone know why?I've got a really strong desire to smell paint and turpentine and to put sponge in my mouth.?
options:
You are a drug addict.
You are pregnant.
You have a psychological disorder.
All of the above.I've got a really strong desire to smell paint and turpentine and to put sponge in my mouth.?
Look up pica and see if it applies to you.
Eating a well balanced diet of all the nutrients you needs maybe help.
Maybe you feel anxious and feel compelled to do it.
Just don't do it, occupy yourself with exercise, or reading.
