Hyde Painter's Pyramid

Unless I’m applying a fast-dry finish like lacquer, things come to a grinding halt when I have to wait for one side of a project to dry before coating the other. For slower-drying finishes, such as polyurethane, Painter’s Pyramids allow me to apply finish (or paint) on the less-seen side first, wait a couple of minutes, and then simply flip it over and do the “good” side while the first is still wet. These handy plastic gizmos leave only a pinhole-sized dimple that’s easy to rub out.
