Want cleaner paint lines? Start by improving your cutting-in technique. 💯 #PaintingHack #DIYTips
What happens here
Paint the horizontal edges where a wall meets a fixed surface like a countertop or shelf. This requires a steady hand and often working from a crouched position. Use the angled sash brush to create a straight line, keeping the paint off the adjacent surface.
Goal: Create clean paint lines above fixed horizontal surfaces.
