You know, this is how I like to do a cut in. I'm going to take load my brush up, get it all loaded up with paint. I'm going to get my brush up to the wall and I'm going to start a couple inches down below. So, I'm going to start down and then I'm going to cut into my cut in area. I'm going to drag my brush, turn my brush, watch it, and then as soon as I run out of paint, I head back the other direction and lay it out. Start below. Cut into it. So, you're just going to rise up into your cut in areas. Rise up and into it. Just get the edge of the bristles right on there drawing the line. So, just the point of the bristles are actually drawing your line. So, I don't want the whole brush up in there. I'm turning it. So just the bristles, the sharp point of the bristles will draw your line. Take a deep breath. Hold it in. Come up.
