What happens here

The presenter offers a practical tip regarding brush size for cutting-in ceiling lines. He recommends opting for a 3-inch angled sash brush rather than a smaller 2.5-inch brush. His personal experience shows that the larger brush holds a greater quantity of paint, which allows painters to cover more linear feet with each load. This increased paint capacity translates directly into faster and more efficient cutting-in, particularly for long, continuous ceiling lines.

Goal: For ceiling lines, a 3-inch angled sash brush is recommended over a 2.5-inch for its ability to hold more paint and allow for faster, more efficient cutting-in.

rope your trim and most most paints for interior trim is very thin the viscosity is pretty low and so a soft brush works amazing for for trim when it comes to doing ceiling cut-ins i didn't talk about size i do like a three inch angled sash brush so it's actually angled so it makes getting in the corners a lot easier a larger brush like a three inch just holds more paint you can cut farther with your ceiling line so i like i like larger brushes early in my career i used uh for years and years two and a half inch angled sash brush and when i switched to a three inch i was amaze i was amazed how much faster i can do cut ins now premiere has come out just recently
