An Ultimate Guide To Cut Ins: Paint Straight Lines Like a Pro!
What happens here
Choose an angled sash brush for ceiling cut-ins. The angled tip allows for easier access into corners and more precise line drawing compared to a flat brush. While flat brushes can be used with practice, the angled design significantly aids in achieving a clean line. For brush size, a 3-inch angled sash brush is recommended as it holds more paint, allowing for longer continuous strokes without redipping, thus increasing efficiency. However, a 2.5-inch brush can be more manageable for beginners. The presenter personally uses Premier handmade brushes with Dupont Tynex and Orel filaments, noting their superior paint retention, easy cleanup, and maintained stiffness.
Goal: Choose the most effective brush type and size for painting precise ceiling cut-ins.
