Cut In with Paint

What happens here

With the trim masked, a paintbrush is used to "cut in" or apply paint along the top edge of the baseboard, directly against the freshly applied painter's tape. The paint is carefully loaded onto the brush from a paint can and applied in smooth, even strokes. It's important to ensure good coverage without overloading the brush, as excessive paint could lead to drips or seeping under the tape. This step creates a clean edge for the wall color, establishing the boundary between the wall and the trim.

Goal: Apply paint precisely along the masked edges of the wall
