Proper Rolling Direction and Technique

good, but make sure it's dead flat. So tip number four is rolling your ceilings, laying them out and rolling them in the proper direction. So check this out. We got John here. He's rolling the ceiling right here with our 18-inch nap. And there's certain things you want to take into consideration when you roll your ceiling so that it'll look like a professional did it. One is the direction you roll the paint and then how you actually lay it out. So John, we're going to have him rolling here and then we're going to ask him to talk about it just a little bit. So, I see John, you're rolling the ceilings now and you're laying it out up there. Why don't you tell us, you know, why you're rolling it, the direction you're rolling it, and how to go about laying it out. Okay. So, anytime we walk into a room and we're doing ceilings, one of the things we want to think about is uh with two things. You want to think about where the light is coming from and you want to think about where uh a person or a guest is going to be predominantly standing and seeing the ceiling. So, a room like this, we've got uh light coming in on the south side and we've got light coming in on the east side. What we want to do is we want to roll against the the length of this room so that when someone's coming in from the the door on the east side and they're looking this way, they're not seeing that light flashing across the roll marks. They're less likely to see the light if it's the the lap marks if they're going across them than they are if they're going towards them. And then how do you go about laying it out? You're going to be painting it up here on the ceiling. And I think, you know, you got to lay it out instead of just rolling it in all random directions. You're going to get it on there and lay it out. Yeah. So, I always work in small squares. Uh my I work my way down to keep a wet edge. So, like this ceiling, I'll split it into three chunks. I'll do one chunk that's about, you know, 4T x 4T and then another one and then another one. And then when I'm always done with each section, I roll that the that square out all going the same direction and then pick my nap up and go the same direction because you want that stippling to all be going the same way so that you don't cast different looking shadows one way or the other. Cool. So, this is the entrance to this room right here. I'm standing at the the door entrance and we got windows right here that are going to be casting in natural…
