What happens here

For ceiling lines that are uneven or heavily textured, a precise groove can be created using a 5-in-1 tool. Position the tool firmly against the 90-degree angle where the wall meets the ceiling. Apply slight pressure and drag the tool along the entire length of the line, creating a small, almost microscopic score or groove. This groove will act as a channel, guiding the bristles of your paintbrush for a perfectly straight line during the cut-in process. The slight indentation will be filled by the paint, making it invisible once dry.

Goal: Create a precise, straight guide for painting on uneven ceiling-to-wall transitions.

is a pretty smooth uh 90° angle. But if it was pretty rough, I can just take my 5 in one. I'm just going to stick it in here and just gouge it right there. And it just leaves a little cut right there. So once again, I'm just going to put it up here, put a little bit of pressure, and then just score it right down there. And now I can just do my cut and take my brush in there and just run it right along that score. It's not something that you can see, you know, from the video. Even if I got the the video up here close enough, you're not going to be able to see it cuz it's really really microscopic. It's just a little score, and you don't want to see it anyways cuz it's really um cuz it's it's a cut in the wall, but the paint actually will just fill that little trough as you run it right across here. But that's a really handy trick to do if you want to make your ceiling cut in straight. Now, we're going to move on to the cocking
