    Watching a vid on cutting in is much more enjoyable than actually cutting in.

    You and I cut in the exact same way. It leaves such a beautiful line and clients always love it so much. Thank you for mentioning “feathering” in the chunky line. People don’t realize how that line sticks out. Great painting buddy! I love being a painter.

    If you slightly clean the side of the brush that goes against the ceiling you can cut it in one stroke, is more faster and will leave no excessive paint. Of course you need to practice in order to get good at it.

      Same here. Just using standard trade paint, but once I’ve gone over the main bit with a roller, a lot of the cut-in parts always stand out.
      Is it just a matter of putting loads of coats on? 🤷🏾‍♂️

      fences are usually sprayed, but you can brush and roll them but it just takes much more time because you have to cover all the little tight areas and give it a second coat.
