I need to be more careful painting 🤦 #painting #homeimprovement #construction

What happens here

With the loaded paintbrush, carefully begin applying paint to the edges of the window trim, specifically where the trim meets the wall or the masked window surface. Use steady, controlled strokes to create a clean, straight line. This precise technique, often referred to as 'cutting in,' is crucial for a professional finish and requires a steady hand and patience. The video clearly demonstrates this action, showing the brush moving along the trim's edges.

Goal: Apply paint neatly and precisely along the edges of the window trim.
