What happens here

Before beginning to roll, ensure that any "cut-in" areas (paint applied with a brush along edges, corners, ceilings, and trim) are still wet. The presenter demonstrates that if you allow these cut-ins to dry before rolling the main wall section, the paint you subsequently roll will not blend seamlessly, creating a noticeable line or "hat band." The goal is to always roll into a wet area.

Goal: Complete cut-ins and ensure they remain wet before rolling main wall areas.

Tools and materials

  • Paint Brush — Applying paint along edges and corners (cut-ins)
  • Paint — Applying to walls and edges

What they say

it is not keeping a wet Edge so I've already done my cut ends right here if I go to lunch now and I let this dry when I roll up to my ceiling or wall whatever I that's already dried it's not going to be wet that's going to possibly be a different color or it could be what we call half Manning if you start rolling in the middle of the wall and you get this ball halfway done this dries right here and then you start from here going down that wall you're going from wet to dry that is going to show a line or a start and stop right in the middle of that wall and so you don't want to do that you always want to keep a wet Edge I'm going to start rolling this wall
