What happens here

The presenter begins by demonstrating the initial 'cutting-in' process along the ceiling line of a wall that will be painted gray. He uses a Wooster Ultra/Pro Lindbeck 3" angled sash brush to apply a precise line of gray paint against the white ceiling. He explains that this is a common first step in painting, especially for accent walls. The brush is specifically chosen for its stiff tip, which allows for accurate lines on uneven surfaces. The context is set for explaining why an additional step, 'back rolling,' is necessary after this initial cut-in.

Goal: Understand the initial cutting-in process along edges using a paint brush.

Tools and materials

  • Paint Bucket/Pot — Holding paint for brush application

we're doing an accent wall here today and i'm doing some cut-ins so i'm getting these cut-ins done i'm going to show you but i keep getting asked all the time why do i back roll my cut-ins and if you don't know what those people are talking about or if you've never heard that term let me give you a demonstration of what it is so i'm doing my cutting i'm cutting in right here and i got some really bumpy cut ends this is probably one of the most challenging scenarios you can ever have so i'm using an ultra ultra pro lin back right here and the reason why i'm using this brush is it's super stiff i can cut in these lines right here and it's working really well with this paint right here now i've got my cut in done
