Take the pointy end of that 5 in 1, seat it up in the corner and pull along the edge gently, this will give you a light pencil mark, true to the corner, and makes a great guide for those w an unsteady hand. It's a trick i learned in florida many years ago that works very well when the corner isnt perfect.

I'm having trouble with corners with textured walls when each wall is a different color. Hawk & trowel texture isn't bad, but popcorn or lemon peel textures are murder trying to get a staight line. Tape can't get in close enough to either wall corner due to neither being flat, especially if texture is deep. Any suggestions?

What is the paint colour brand and colour you used? It looks like a lovely light grey. Great point about being able to cut in with both hands, when learning, it was anxiety time but it’s just practice, practice, practice. Great video mate👍🏻

Couldn't see the tip of the brush as you cutting in. also how you know how much paint in the brush and how many times to use the "lip" before gliding it. How many inches of painting before you dip the brush again TY

@jeanninelewis3842 3 жыл бұрын

Is there a recommended timeframe from when you cut in to when you roll? Meaning .. should you roll within x # of hours of cutting in or does it matter? Could you wait two weeks to roll? Thanks!!

@TheFunnyCarpenter 3 жыл бұрын

For most paints it doesn't really matter if you let it dry or roll into it. I don't see why you couldn't leave for a few weeks. If it's a high gloss paint or a colour that doesn't blend well it could be beneficial to roll into a wet cut line.

@davehall3351 3 жыл бұрын

I prefer to have a small (2”-4”) roller with similar nap that I am using on the wall and back-roll a section usually before moving my ladder. I find it probably don’t matter too much on ceilings due to distance, but I like that it reduces to likelihood of brush marks on vertical corners. The key I find it to feather the edge lightly, not to apply significantly more paint. Then you could roll the wall whenever and not have the cut in lines from the brush visible. This also depends how picky you are! 😃

@dereke4233 2 жыл бұрын

It's best to keep a "wet edge", meaning roll into the brush line while it's still wet so that it all dries down as one coat( as OP states). This requires speed, so it's nice to have 1 person cutting in and one person rolling behind you. If you're working alone, you can roll first, then cut in your line right after. It seems counter-intuitive(to me anyway) but it works. Letting the brush line dry out could create a "picture-frame" effect where the roller overlaps the brush line and double coats it. Hope this helps. Even though you're probably done by now:)

@KefirTView Жыл бұрын

Trying to figure out, do you cut 1st or roll the wall then cut, to avoid noticeable lines due to different drying times? Also, please comment on the order of process in an effort to avoid noticeable line marks. - Thanks in advance!

That's not how it's done. Brush should be on a 45° angle, not parallel with the wall. You also need a 3 or 4 inch brush , not 2. And it looks like you're using Chinex. Wrong bristles. And no real painter works that slowly.
