Cut-In and Roll Second Coat

What happens here

For the second coat, load a paintbrush with paint and carefully brush along the taped edge, lightly touching the tape. Avoid applying excessive pressure to prevent paint from seeping underneath the tape. The specialized FrogTape is designed to swell and prevent such bleed. Immediately after cutting in the edge, use a paint roller to apply paint to the main wall area, rolling directly over the freshly cut-in section. It is critical that both the brushed and rolled paint remain wet to ensure proper blending and to prepare for tape removal.

Goal: Apply a smooth, even second coat of paint, blending the cut-in edges with the rolled surface.
