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

What happens here

Begin by preparing your tools for painting. For ceiling cut-ins, a 4-inch roller nap is used, specifically a Purdy White Dove nap with a 3/8-inch pile. For brushing, a 2.5-inch angled sash Purdy Sure-Tip brush is recommended. The paint bucket should be a 2-gallon cut-in bucket, equipped with a 2-gallon bucket screen for easy loading of the roller. The paint being used in this demonstration is Sherwin Williams Treasure Valley Egg Shell paint. A 3-foot ladder is also essential for reaching the ceiling line comfortably and safely.

Goal: Prepare all necessary equipment for the cut-in task.
