Eliminating Haloing and Perfect Cut-ins

and then lay it out and then move on we were working two people on this accent wall i always highly recommend you know something especially like this to work in a two-man team to eliminate haloing so we applied one coat didn't touch our cut-ins then we went back and then did the cut-ins and as i was doing the cut-ins i had luke following right behind me and filling in and doing um the second coat and they were pulling our masking while our tape in the paint was still wet so i'm going to talk another thing when it comes to the masking we're using frog tape on this project to get you know perfectly straight lines and some i was a little bit worried about bleeding especially with the dark color like this because how thin it is has a tendency to bleed under the tape a frog tape is one thing that's going to stop that it's going to give you perfectly straight lines but i wanted to really put frog tape to the test and this paint to the test and not actually caulk my tape and see how well it performed and i was absolutely amazed how well it performed and so just to you know touch on that we um we applied our paint i actually did my cut ends applied the paint with a brush you don't want to put a lot of pressure i put the paint you know on over the tape and we pulled it as the second coat um came off and typically you know on something like this i would apply clear caulking you know over my tape you know i'd paint over it and then pull it to ensure that i get uh perfectly straight lines and some videos talking about that if you want to go back you know and watch my videos of caulking your tape and how you get perfectly straight lines i'm not going to talk about it in depth here but i did pull the tape on the sides and on the baseboards and it was amazing the paint did not bleed through the tape so that the paint hit the the frog tape activated the frog tape and i got perfectly straight lines without having to caulk and so that eliminated one step and i and a lot of that is the frog tape but i think some of it had to do with the paint also so the paint's you know ease of use its lack of bleeding underneath the tape was absolutely phenomenal i touched on a little bit before anti-micro microbial additives are added into this paint so that's that's really important if you're going to be using you know this product you can use it in bathrooms high humidity bathrooms you can use it in locker rooms um a lot of times even if you're down on the coast or you live in areas…
