Cutting In Along the Ceiling(Tools and Technique) 

😂solid idea

😂

My thoughts entirely

Exactly. Couldn't see much until the end.

What a great idea! Thank you

Excellent attitude Barry

Thomas Komos I’ll have to try that one!

@@TheFunnyCarpenter I also love the arroworthy Rembrandt angular oval sash. Holds so much paint and stiff bristles for precise cutting. 👍

Thanks mate

Ya those 5 in 1 are great- awesome for cleaning of rollers.

Thanks Dennis, I appreciate the support

Anytime!

Thanks Jason, the paint colour is Grey Owl from Benjamin Moore. The actual paint is Super 2 from Coverdale Paints.

For most paints it doesn't really matter if you let it dry or roll into it. I don't see why you couldn't leave for a few weeks. If it's a high gloss paint or a colour that doesn't blend well it could be beneficial to roll into a wet cut line.

I prefer to have a small (2”-4”) roller with similar nap that I am using on the wall and back-roll a section usually before moving my ladder. I find it probably don’t matter too much on ceilings due to distance, but I like that it reduces to likelihood of brush marks on vertical corners. The key I find it to feather the edge lightly, not to apply significantly more paint. Then you could roll the wall whenever and not have the cut in lines from the brush visible. This also depends how picky you are! 😃

It's best to keep a "wet edge", meaning roll into the brush line while it's still wet so that it all dries down as one coat( as OP states). This requires speed, so it's nice to have 1 person cutting in and one person rolling behind you. If you're working alone, you can roll first, then cut in your line right after. It seems counter-intuitive(to me anyway) but it works. Letting the brush line dry out could create a "picture-frame" effect where the roller overlaps the brush line and double coats it. Hope this helps. Even though you're probably done by now:)

Never mind! I found the brush link! But still curious about rollers. Thanks so much!

I like a 10mm microfibre roller, the one I use come from cloverdale paint and are blueish in colour. Not sure if that helps.

Agree

Also little closer wouldn’t of hurt. This video gave me no help whatsoever.

Steven Deckert dare to dream:)

Lol I bet it is:)

Lol the universal struggle of our times:)

@@TheFunnyCarpenter Actually, I do clean my brushes but never reuse rollers. If you could show how to clean those without making a mess I'd love to see how.

@@garyh4458 I’ve learned that is you squeeze out the paint from the sleeve with the 5 in 1, then soak it in a bucket with hot water for about an hour, most of the paint is released into the water. The washing is much easier.

I’m a carpenter…

What do pros use?

I have tried both, and purdys don’t give a crisp line.
