Want cleaner paint lines? Start by improving your cutting-in technique. 💯 #PaintingHack #DIYTips

What happens here

Once the precise edge along the ceiling is 'cut-in' with a brush, use a mini-roller to fill in the adjacent wall area, extending a few inches down from the ceiling line. This helps to blend the brush strokes with the main rolled sections of the wall and quickly cover a wider strip. Ensure the mini-roller lightly overlaps the brush-painted line for a seamless transition.

Goal: Apply paint to the wall area immediately below the ceiling line for blending.
