Prepare the Ceiling Edge by Scraping

What happens here

Before painting, use a scraper tool to remove any loose or excessive texture, such as from popcorn ceilings or wavy ceiling lines, that might interfere with creating a straight line. This creates a cleaner edge for the brush to follow. The presenter demonstrates scraping off texture from a wavy ceiling line. It is important to remove any paint that has already gotten onto the ceiling from previous painting jobs, especially if it is a darker color.

Goal: Create a clean and smooth edge along the ceiling line.
