CUTTING CEILINGS. DIY How To Paint A Straight Ceiling Line.

What happens here

Extend the cut-in technique to the room's corners. Apply paint using the angled sash brush, dragging it both up and down the corner line to ensure complete and even coverage, especially on textured surfaces. After brushing, back-roll the corner sections as well with the 4-inch roller nap to maintain a consistent texture and avoid haloing.

Goal: Achieve clean, non-haloed paint lines in room corners.

What they say

Hide

and roll the wall. I'll back up here, get into a corner. I'm going to work my way up a corner, too, to where my cutting is. And I like to take and roll the corners just to make it so the person rolling the wall has an easier time doing the corners. Same practice. It's good to do your corners first so you don't get that halo created by even though it's the same color, it could show haloing. So, I'm going to drag it one way. And if you're new at cutins, don't got a lot of practice, it's good to hold your breath. Just pat it. Just hold your breath the opposite direction. If you got to lay it out again, one more time. Lay it out again. Then I'll cut it in again back the opposite direction. And I can do about three or four feet and then roll. So just pat your brush. Don't dip your bristles too far in. You want to dip your bristles just about an inch. One direction. Go back the other direction. Just use the very tip of the brush to get up there. And you're basically drawing a line. So I can get about several feet then go back roll it.
