Perfect Ceiling Cut Ins. Painting A Straight Line On A Wall. How to cut in paint edges.
What happens here
After drawing your main cut-in line, you might notice small pinholes or missed spots, often caused by the brush skipping over minor imperfections (hills and valleys) in the wall texture. To fix these, load your brush again and go back over the affected areas in the opposite direction. It's crucial to stay about an eighth of an inch away from the perfectly cut edge you've already established to avoid messing it up. Once you have completed the cut-in for an entire wall, immediately follow by rolling the main wall surface. This prevents 'haloing', which occurs when the brushed paint dries with a different texture or sheen than the rolled paint, creating a visible outline.
Goal: Learn to correct small imperfections and manage texture differences to avoid 'haloing' on painted walls.
