Want cleaner paint lines? Start by improving your cutting-in technique. 💯 #PaintingHack #DIYTips
What happens here
Begin by carefully painting the line where the wall meets the ceiling using an angled sash brush. Load the brush with paint, ensuring not to overload it to prevent drips. Use a steady hand and a controlled stroke to create a straight, clean edge. This initial 'cut-in' provides a sharp boundary for later rolling.
Goal: Establish a precise paint line at the ceiling-wall junction.
