Cleaning that Messy Pallet!

Easy Steps to Pallet Change!
If you're one of those artists who hates to scrape down an old pallet every time you're finished with a work, do what I do:
1. Use a thin piece of plywood, glass or plastic board to the size you would like your pallet to be.
2. Place a white sheet of paper onto one side.
3. Sandwich the board and paper together and stretch Kling-wrap out over the top.
4 & 5. Wrap the kitchen kling-wrap around the whole lot about three to four times.
Once this is done, squeeze out the air bubbles that have formed and fold any overlapping pieces under the pallet (opposite side which the white sheet of paper is on).
6. You now have a smooth, clean, white surface to place the paint on and to work off.
7. When you're done with that messy pallet,
8. Simply peel off the kling wrap and start again.
