What happens here

Prior to rolling the main wall sections, 'cut in' the areas where the wall meets the ceiling, adjacent walls, and baseboards. This is performed using a smaller paintbrush for precise control along edges and corners. A specialized corner roller can also be used for the ceiling line to quickly and neatly create a straight edge. This step ensures that the larger 18-inch roller does not accidentally mark unintended areas and establishes a 'wet edge' that the main roller will blend into, preventing unsightly lap marks.

Goal: Precisely apply paint to wall edges, corners, and ceiling lines using a brush or a specialized corner roller before main rolling.
