Roll Over the Wet Cut-in
At 0:14 in
When do you pull your tape? #tips #howto #diy #painter #paintlife #idahopainter #tipsandtricks
What happens here
Immediately after completing the brush cut-in for a section, and while the paint is still wet, use a paint roller, preferably on an extension pole, to roll over the cut-in area. Ensure the roller gets as close as possible to the taped edge without touching the tape directly. This technique blends the brushed paint with the rolled texture, maintaining a "wet edge" to avoid visible lines or "halo-ing" that can occur if the cut-in paint dries before the rolling is applied. The video emphasizes not doing a full wall but rather working in smaller sections to keep the paint wet.
Goal: Blend the brushed cut-in with the main rolled paint for a seamless finish.
