Give you a few little cutting tips. So, using a 2 and 1/2 inch angled sash brush. I typically like a 3-inch. You can cut in farther cuz you can hold more paint. And so, a big The bigger brush you can handle the better. Like I definitely prefer a 3-inch. Also, the this brush I only have two brushes. I had to wash this brush after using it uh just earlier today. And what happens is your filaments get really soft, you know, and they're wet. So, they absorb water, they get soft, and they don't cut in as well. A stiffer brush for cutting in especially in this case is a lot better cuz we got a sprayed on orange peel texture, a lot of peaks and valleys. The walls aren't flat. It's really dry. And so, I really need a stiff brush to cut in faster. But, you know, I can do with what I got. If you you know, wash your brushes out, let them dry for a day at least before you use them again. Once they dry out, they get their stiffness back. So, I typically every day wash the brush, let it dry out, use a different brush the next day if it's not dry. But, dry brushes are stiffer.
