all right today I'm going to be talking about the Art of Doing ceiling cuttings and I'm going to give you some tips and tricks on doing them now I've got um I don't know six or seven videos on doing ceiling cuttings and every single one of them you'll talk about um other tips and tricks and on those videos there's been a lot of questions in the past that I'm going to try to answer in this new video right here doing ceiling cins and I'm going to just talk a little bit about the scenario we have here and how you go about dealing with that now you know every ceiling cut in you do is probably going to be just a little bit different sometimes you're going to have a perfectly 90° angle sometimes you're going to have like um what we call um popcorn ceilings and the popcorn ceilings gets into the 90° angle and makes it really difficult to get a perfectly straight line sometimes you're going to have a wavy ceiling line like this that has some texture in some places and some texture in and not in other places and then how do you go about you know really dealing with that and how do you get perfectly straight cuttings you know when you're dealing with all these different scenarios now I'm going to talk um give you a couple like you know um tips when it comes to where to take your ceiling cut in should you take your ceiling cut up cut in up onto the ceiling the paint or should you Side by coming down below the ceiling now in a case like this there are certain scenarios where you can take and run a beat of cocking you know up into this 90° corner and eliminate some of the texture issues texture problems some of the unevenness in your 90° corner to give you kind of like a better um surface to do your cut ends on that'll give you a little bit more success but as soon as you run a beat of caulking up there the caulking is going to get on this ceiling you're going to have to paint it and then you end up painting the wall too and then you're going to have to wait for the caulking to dry so sometimes it's impractical to do we're not painting the ceilings in here I don't have the ceiling color so if I get any paint on here that becomes a problem so I can't COA these um these 90° Corners so I got to just deal with what I got up there now there was um texture
