Take the pointy end of that 5 in 1, seat it up in the corner and pull along the edge gently, this will give you a light pencil mark, true to the corner, and makes a great guide for those w an unsteady hand. It's a trick i learned in florida many years ago that works very well when the corner isnt perfect.
Wooster created the angle sash in 1937. My favorite Wooster brush is Wooster ultra pro extra firm. Good tips. I'm a professional painter and you could always cut a better line if your head is close to the ceiling.
Good to see I’ve been using most of the right techniques and hardly ever hit the ceiling. I’ve never seen that paint bucket. What a great idea! Would be good if you can show some tips for painting that little strip of wall in the corner where the door trim moulding sits.
Great instructions! That ceiling must have some serious static to pull your hair up like that! 🤣 I've watched several of your videos and enjoyed each one. Keep them coming.
If you take your 5and1 were the sharp edge is and round it off you can use it too draw straight lines cutting in like we're the trim and baseboards and even ceilings it's very good tool too have if you don't have one your not a painter another thing always having a wet rag will help out so much with caulking and even gets paint up and you can use a 5and1and wet rag and draw straight lines I learned that at young age I been a professional painter 15 years I know alot about painting
Is there a recommended timeframe from when you cut in to when you roll? Meaning .. should you roll within x # of hours of cutting in or does it matter? Could you wait two weeks to roll? Thanks!!
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:)
I'm having trouble with corners with textured walls when each wall is a different color. Hawk & trowel texture isn't bad, but popcorn or lemon peel textures are murder trying to get a staight line. Tape can't get in close enough to either wall corner due to neither being flat, especially if texture is deep. Any suggestions?
Couldn't see the tip of the brush as you cutting in. also how you know how much paint in the brush and how many times to use the "lip" before gliding it. How many inches of painting before you dip the brush again TY
This is a good video. I'd like to give it 2 thumbs-ups. Blot the paint under the cut-in to make it look more like roller stipple. Don't leave any brush marks there.
Americano por favor...jk. Wanted to tap your Amazon link for the paintbrush so you can get USA credits. Love your videos. Thank you! Yes, I am a DIYer and a Smart#$@& with many Canadian relatives. ;)
What is the paint colour brand and colour you used? It looks like a lovely light grey. Great point about being able to cut in with both hands, when learning, it was anxiety time but it’s just practice, practice, practice. Great video mate👍🏻
Trying to figure out, do you cut 1st or roll the wall then cut, to avoid noticeable lines due to different drying times? Also, please comment on the order of process in an effort to avoid noticeable line marks. - Thanks in advance!
@@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.
nobody can see your cut, dude because the wall and ceiling are both light colours. But I'm sure that was intentional, right? that's chinex, wrong bristle. you're also holding it wrong. and you are too high on the ladder. LOL!!!
That's not how it's done. Brush should be on a 45° angle, not parallel with the wall. You also need a 3 or 4 inch brush , not 2. And it looks like you're using Chinex. Wrong bristles. And no real painter works that slowly.

Thanks for watching!
Next time show us cutting in with dark colours onto light ones so we can see how good these tips really are :)
😂solid idea
😂
My thoughts entirely
Exactly. Couldn't see much until the end.
Tape and caulk method is frequently shown for this - as well as a two paint solution - sealing the edge of tape.

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. 👍
Love your videos!

Great brush. I HIGHLY recomend Corona brushes. I use a 2 1/2 cortez and excaliber, exclusively
Great paint tips!

No apologies needed. You have someone doing the laundry! BAM! I cant hear it anyway. Thanks for the tips.
Great stuff! Wondered if you would do a video about masking? I could use some tips :-)

Maybe I should get rid of my dollar store brushes and invest in a couple good ones, thanks for the tip!
Anytime!

Amazon won’t let me order the brush and send to USA, letting you know, thanks for tips tho

How do you fix when you get paint on a textured ceiling and it’s dry?

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

I can't find this paint. Either they stopped making it, or changed the name of it. Or they never sold it in my region NE USA
Hi! Do you have a link for this brush?? Also can you recommend a roller? Are all rollers created equally? 😂
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.
May be use a different colour so we can actually see the lINE
Agree
Also little closer wouldn’t of hurt. This video gave me no help whatsoever.
It's funny watching a carpenter paint
Lol I bet it is:)
Not sure I'm coordinated enough to be an ambidextrous painter.
Steven Deckert dare to dream:)
Don’t forget brush on brush off
Now do a happy little tree!

Can’t even see what you’re painting! Do you even have paint on your brush?
Video starts at 4:12 alot of talking before hand
Damn .....ur fired
You're lucky, your wife GETS impatient. I find they usually start off that way right out of the box

Anyone who uses one of those lil red hand buckets is not a pro. Lol
I’m a carpenter…
What do pros use?
Why is carpenter trying to show you how to paint ?
Will I watch a painter now for electrical tips ?
Stay in your lane...
Nope
Wrong brushes .use purdy. His are crap
I have tried both, and purdys don’t give a crisp line.
