Trade Secret # 5

One of the things I am asked about is brush technique. How do you get a straight line up by the ceiling and not get paint every where? First, look on the trade secrets page number 2 and I discuss some of this when talking about painting. When you hold the brush up to the wall just below the ceiling, the brush needs to be perpendicular to the wall, don't have the handle pointing in the direction you are pulling the brush. Next, push the bristles against the wall and ease the paint up to just below the line where the ceiling connects to the wall. Try cutting a line one eighth of an inch below where you want it, that way you will be less inclined to push paint up onto the ceiling, (Something we all want to avoid). Also, if you find yourself using just the tip of the bristles to cut in, it's virtually impossible to make a straight line. Again push the brush again the surface and use just edge of the bristles to form the line.
Yes I need to start making video's of this, instead of trying to explain it.
