What happens here

After applying the final coat and allowing it to dry, conduct a thorough inspection of the walls for any missed spots or areas requiring touch-up. For areas that were masked off, carefully remove the 1-inch painter's tape and 9-inch masking paper. If a multi-coat wall requires additional touch-ups along the edges, use a smaller 4-inch roller with a 3/8-inch nap to get close to the masked lines or baseboards, and then use the 3-inch angled sash brush for any precise cut-ins. Any necessary caulking (e.g., along baseboards) should be done with a standard caulking gun using clear caulk to create seamless transitions and a finished look. Once all painting is complete, clean all tools thoroughly with appropriate solvents or water, depending on the paint type.

Goal: Ensure a perfect finish and clean the workspace

What they say

Hide

There you have it. And that's how you properly lay out the wall. Then we'll go back. There's going to be some light spots on the cut ends because these walls have to be too coated. We typically do the cut in, we try to do the cut in heavy once and then just go back and touch it up. That's typically how we do our cutins. Same with the cutins on the masking where we cough. Sometimes if it's a multi-coat wall, we'll just roll the bottom with our 4-in nap and get close to our tape. And then on our second coat coat, then we'll coaul it, do the cut in, roll the wall, pull the tape. [Music] So in this video, some of the tools and accessories we're actually doing to paint these walls fast using our 2 to 4ft extension pole. A lot of times we're using a 4 to 8t extension pole. I use a commercial grade 18in roller. We use also the worooster roller. Got an 18-in roller here. That's a 3/8 inch nap. We're using our 5gallon bucket pan right here. That's actually a worooster pan. We like the worooster pans cuz it rolls on both sides. To do our masking, we're using our hand masker with 9in paper, 1 in tape. A lot of times we're using frog tape along with coauling. Here's our bucket. We use the two gallon buckets with a onegon grid inside. cutting in with a 3-in brush, angled sash brush. Got the 4-in roller with a 3/8 inch nap on that. And we're doing our cocking with just a standard cocking gun. I like the ones with a ratchet teeth. We're using clear cocking when we're doing our cocking. Those are the tools and accessories we're using in this video. And this is what we do to do high production fast painting. All those tools and accessories, you can find them in my video description down below, or you can check out my tool store at the end of this video on my website, the idaho.com.
