Thanks for the great video. I tried your technique yesterday and it worked really well. Biggest takeaway was that I wasn't using the brush properly. Getting rid of excess paint on the tip and letting the middle of the brush deliver the paint was an eye opener. Tried it over the doors first and did the whole room without having to tape. I'm not a painter (my guy was booked up) and this was really helpful for a large bathroom. Saved a lot of time.

Great vid man! I painted professionally for years, and was fortunate to have an experienced painter teach me how to paint. I always get in that age old argument with the DIY’ers who are utterly shocked to see me painting and cutting a room without using painters tape, and I tell them if you use the proper brush for the job and learn how to use it, you’ll actually save time by not having to tape up everything. When I was trained, literally the first thing the man said to me was “If I ever catch you using painters tape, you’re out of of job because it slows the crew down and costs me money”.

I’m a professional painter (30 plus years). The Dude in the video has good skills and good advice for the diy-ers. I’d add: use a high quality angled sash brush with a “firm” to “very firm” bristle formulation, 2 to 2 1/2 inch wide and use a high quality “spatter” free wall paint. Some of the cheaper paint “trails” the brush from the bucket to the wall, resulting in long drips on the wall and will spatter on woodwork

Definitely a pro. Notice that he loads his brush by quickly slapping it 3-4 times against the side of the can, not by lifting it up and wiping it off against the inner rim. His method is faster, doesn't compress the bristles as much or as unevenly as wiping them against the rim, doesn't create a mess inside the can from the rim down, and also leaves more paint in the brush, which means that reloading is also less frequent.

You need to talk about the first stroke where you are creating a paint reservoir to spread the paint. Moving it towards the center of the crease. Then. How its better to have a little excess on the ceiling than not enough on the walls. Also, I think its important to make the first cut as good as you can get it.I agree with straightening it out better later. But if you do it right the first time theres very little left to straighten. And you fly.I like your banjo music. I am the golden brush. Retired. I appreciate you helping others with your video.

@scottphillips71083 жыл бұрын
Yes correct... Priming the brush before starting the job says brother of the brush... Note how he taps both sides of the inside of his can before applying the paint... Thats to put 'er [paint] heavy on the brush [so you get good distance when applying/efficiency] and in same breath taking off more of the paint than is needed to help prevent dripping or sagging in drying paint after applying... In essence it's giving you enough paint on the brush to let you go far in spread distance but not too much that you may end up with too much on the surface that you get the drip or sagging issues... Basically it's the middle ground or lukewarm region between hot and cold... It gives decent coverage ability that way too... [Meaning cut in gets the smeary paint look where not enough paint was applied and you can see the paint coat beneath you are going over...] As for the tapping on inside of paint can and preparing to cut along ceiling corner line in video you saw the painter work backwards into the paint that was already applied... I would do exactly that then... I personally would have gone back the opposite way a second time along the ceiling corner to straighten that paint line to laser straight and worked the brush outwards from the paint you just applied... The key in painting is working it in [rolling or cutting] BOTH directions... In all aspects of painting... When you don't you get speckles in your wall rolling and uneven/un-straight to the eyeball ceiling lines... 'Oh and that slopping of the paint he did before starting to cut the ceiling corner line??? Thats called priming the axe... So you know the difference between it and priming the brush even though both terms relate to priming the brush in preparation for the spreading/applying... Cause axes cut well... Just a way to understand when speaking about it while training... Both instances of priming are needed to get a good cut line none the less... Otherwise you will load up that corner and you won't like the end result... Opposite of straight as a laser line...

as a painter myself those were definitely good tips. ....1- Always get a good brush (preferably a stiff or med stiff... better brushes are rated) definitely worth the money as they are re-usable after a good wash.... 2- have a cutting can with approx 1 inch of paint in it..... I was taught the and have been "loading" my brush the same way as you did in this video by dipping into paint & then BANGING the brush on the can side to side (it allows the paint "inside" the brush) ... too many people dip & then wipe off most of the paint on the can .... 3- excellent tip of painting close to but not right to the edge , followed by the "perfecting" of the 2nd cut ..... this is OVERALL significantly faster and insures ideal coverage .... and great tip of long elongated and ideally un-interrupted strokes when the brush is properly loaded (should be able to stroke twice or longer than demonstrated) and great tip of fading paint .............. also great tip on to be careful of the paint that is sitting on top of the brush once you push the brush onto the wall ...

Keep a damp cloth handy as it will wipe off easy before it drys. You can also look at caulking a new line and painting with a paint shield, but you will need very square and level walls to get a sharp line. One of the best things to do to practice cutting in sharp lines is the stick some masking tape in straight lines on a wall (that is going to be decorated) then practice cutting against the masking tape trying not to go over the line.

Agreed. Cannot detect any coverage issues on a second coat that is within say 1/8 inch from the outermost line of the first coat. Something else he didn't describe or show: A person can push a pencil into the ceiling/wall joint and slightly mark a line all the way around. Then, those hard to see corners are easily handled, because the smart painter can then see the joint. I am also right handed but learned to draw the brush in the opposite direction than that being shown. I will, however, use the right-to-left technique minimally to reach out before moving the ladder. Been painting professionally for 50 years and was taught by an expert back then.
@glenwunderlich24384 жыл бұрын
And one more thing. Lots of time today's paint comes very thick - too dang thick to cut in properly. It is wise to thin the paint to be used for cutting in, so that it will flow properly allowing those longer strokes that make straight lines. Typically the paint can be thinned minimally in the cut-in bucket only and the applied straight from the bucket with rollers.

Hello Rémi, first I would like to sincerely thank you for all of your helpful painting videos. I only have a year and a half of painting experience so I still have everything to learn. I'm curious if you have a preferred brand of brushes, roller sleeves and rollers. I work for a renovation and construction company in Québec and we buy Aqualine and Jasper brushes (mostly synthetic since we mostly work in latex paint) which are the best we've used so far. We try to always have an army of brushes on hand but we mostly use two and a half angle sash brushes and despite cleaning and storage, they still lose their form and spring after two job sites max. I've heard there are brushes and sleeves that could last a lifetime! Same principle with roller sleeves (we never clean ours - just toss them) and we buy Richard, ,Rona, Uberhaus, or Simms rollers and sleeves. Any preferences or suggestions? And thank you again!
@ExpressionsPainting9 жыл бұрын
Hi Tiffany, I have never worked with those brushes but I can tell you that a brush being out of shape after 2 jobs doesn't seem normal to me. Two things are important in order to maintain the brushes: 1- Proper Cleaning (see my video about how to wash brushes and rollers) 2- Proper storage in their original cases As for the roller sleeves, typically a roller doesn't work the best the first time you use it. So if you're throwing it out after each use you're never working with a proper roller sleeve. This effect is more evident in wooven rollers. As for my preferred brushes I like Nours Nature's Palette and Wooster Extra Firm both in the 2.5 inch sash. For roller sleeves it depends on what I'm painting. Ceiling I prefer a thicker wooven roller from Purdy. Walls I prefer a micro fiber roller 13mm. For cages and extension poles I'm a big fan of Wooster mostly because of the quick release system :)

You're using a sash brush designed for window sashes and only meant to go in one direction. First year apprentice training, always finish into wet so you don't get jab marks.With acrylic paints like promar 200 it works best to roll first to avoid double coating at the cut in. You can control the cut to the rolled area. Try it it is much faster, saves paint and looks much better.

If you get a quality brush the marks are not as noticeable and remember to fade out your cut-ins especially the wall meeting the ceiling. Quality paint, brush and roller nap will get you a professional finish.

I tried several ways with a wet rag handy till I realized that the trick was to get a good amount of paint on the brush and paint the wall near the edge till the excess was off the brush then cut in in a long stroke with the tip of the angled brush towards the edge your cutting which pulls the paint toward that point but it's still a pain though but easier than taping for sure.

I love your videos, I've watched them all. Question, do you paint all of your white first such as the trim before you cut in with the blue? Thank you.

Do you do 2 coats of the edges before you use the roller to paint the whole wall? Or 1 coat on the edges and wall then repeat the whole procedure for a 2nd coat?

depends on what type of paint. eggshell for instance you cut one wall then roll it before you move on...then repeat. flat paint you can cut entire room twice then roll twice.

I with they would create a painting robot. Just pour paint in to it and lock it in a room. Like a slow cooker. You come back and its done.

I learnt the easy way, keep the ceiling and the wall the same paint and colour and also put the same colour on the woodwork and dont look to close after. My paintwork lasts a minimum 20 years as white never goes out of fashion giving me more time to go out and enjoy my life.

Great videos Remi! Can you let the cutins dry before rolling as it is hard to keep a wet edge with cutins?
@ExpressionsPainting9 жыл бұрын
That depends largely on the product and the color. Most products will make it possible to do so with light colors but not so much with the darker colors. On the other hand some products require you to wait for the cut lines to dry before rolling in the walls. Checking with the paint manufacturers data sheet is recommended here.

Hi Remi, A big thank you for all your videos, they are a big help! Is it normal to have very small cracks in the corners (hairline crack), not everywhere, but at some places, the paint in the corner seems to crack a little, I use 100% latex acrylic paint. Am i doing something wrong? Thank you and have a nice day

Yes it is normal and I typically use caulking to fix those since it allows flexibility and movement :)
