You sir are my HERO! In just over a minute and a half you made my anxiety about edging go away!

[@donnaf2666]

I always use a shallow flat pan or my brush to load paint onto the edger. Been using this tool since the 1990s. Love it.

[@Vixinaful]

So it really is this good?

[@donnaf2666]

@@Vixinaful Yes, especially where the wall meets the ceiling and you have 2 colors meeting. Practice in a corner, then when you get the hang of it, do around the ceiling. Have a rag handy to wipe edges and rollers of the tool. Don't press down too hard.

[@michaelsherron7815]

Flat pan , 🤔 never thought about that one, I gotta try it

[@michaelsherron7815]

@@donnaf2666Great tips: flat pan, brush, don’t press: hard. Thanks! 😊

[@Jeeps4evaandeva]

I am responsible for cutting the edge and was super nervous. Thank you so much! I previously had experience with painting bird homes. To think that I can cut now because Of you! Wahoooo!!

[@drizzybd]

Im here because I'm paint my house for the first time and needed help edging lol thank you

[@Brandonbikes]

Don't forget to take out the hard line of paint the edger leaves, just use the edger to feather it out

[@nicklekan5644]

Indeed - you'll see that hard line if you allow it to dry.

[@Dagnabit888]

9 months later.....I learned that the hard way

[@jefflong1533]

Thank you for this video! Super helpful!

[@diablokicks1]

You had me, then lost me when you edged around the switch instead of pulling the plate

[@joe1071]

Yeah, should definitely pull the plate. If you're to lazy to go get a screwdriver (when I paint I like to keep one in my pocket since it comes in handy just about every time) then this is a pretty fast way to edge your covers. I give him creativity points

[@kbm-zw5jd]

I think he was showing how to edge around it and how the paint wasn’t winding up on the plate. I use these but somehow paint finds it’s way onto the rollers.

[@danielverrier1976]

He probably did it just as an example of how one could use it. It probably fits better in the frame than going above the door or down to the baseboards.

[@Ecmdrw5]

At least he didn’t paint the light switch…oh wait

[@alexthomson7465]

That's whole point it though 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@borrisbuon2799]

Thank you so much. It is the best video I have ever seen regarding the product.

[@toservemen]

Thanks

[@michaelderenne9838]

Nice tip thanks. I have to paint a rental property of mine and dont want to deal with tape anymore if I can help it.👍👊

[@efthimios]

I use these a lot but have made mistake getting paint on wheels too nice video I use to apply it with a brush on to edger not sure if that’s a good method I think dippong it in the pan you may get paint on the wheels

[@jarretttucker2578]

I probably just used too much paint, but when I made a pass, I took a semi dry roller and just lightly went over the edge so the hard line disappeared. Also take off your switch plates when painting lol.

[@jimmurphy4703]

Yes he omitted to say that . Do small sections with the edger and have a “dry” roller , you know what I mean to get rid of the wet edge

[@brettbarager9101]

Of course some edgers are better than others so be sure to get a quality one! Worth the extra $. One important thing you did not mention is to feather the non-cut edge so you don't have a line. Also, when loading the pad, be careful not to get paint on the wheels.

[@DS-mr7gr]

We all know…that switch plate’s gotta come off 👍

[@terryk1260]

Thank you!! You make me believe I can do this! 😊❤️

[@vincep8095]

Tip i was given was to not dip the pad but to use a paint brush to apply it to the pad .

[@WatchTashi]

Mind blown.

[@peterbarlow8912]

Never dip the pad! Use your brush to load the pad. It keeps the paint off the edges of your pad. You need a brush for the inside corners anyway. Also what everyone said about the switch plate.

[@rulinghabs]

Great product. Works great

[@johnbarney5787]

I've always failed with these. BUT it was getting paint on the wheels. Duh...I'm painting whole interior of home so I'll go back to these. Thanks!

[@Benz926]

How did you end up going with it all? Did it end up making your life easier mate?

[@JoeCapuano-xy2wq]

I used a paint edger but it dried with all those little lines in it like you saw in your video. Any suggestions?

[@brittanywatson3926]

Omg I almost threw the edger away I was so mad after seeing other videos that swiped it up and down on the pan. Doing it this way I managed to do the whole ceiling without a single wheel getting paint on it

[@karabathesorceress6923]

Ok but what about when you are using an extension pole to get the high parts of the ceiling and edges? How do you cut at a 90degree angle from the pole if the end her doesn’t turn a full 90 degrees?

[@katiedequadros452]

You can get these with swivel handles for those awkward angles

[@Semaj.18272]

Tip , just don’t put lot of paint in the paint tray , slightly or use the top part of the paint tray where it has little paint to dip the brush

[@tcg-astral]

I’m edging to this rn

[@nanceedee287]

Thank you!

[@sherrybrown3817]

Sweet Thank you

[@toservemen]

Thanks

[@xkoociesyt6870]

Load pad with a brush , easier to control the amount paint on the pad , dont apply to edge on first stroke leave a small gap to edge Then and come and go edge on next stroke like you do with a brush

[@williammmmmmmmm]

ok but how do you paint that part on the right side of the light switch

[@barcaman1013]

Did you wet the edger before?

[@themaineadventure4687]

I always get paint on the wheels

[@boofuls]

It that paint oil based paint 🤔thanx

[@eliargumedo4728]

I’m here because my mom wants me to paint the stairs

[@rajajohnson6513]

😊😊m😊😊m

[@wirefrost3287]

bless her she giving you chores

[@InfiniteMusicLive]

all im wondering is why you dont have a drop sheet on the floor bruv

[@DarkAngel-ph9on]

When the paint soakes to the edge of the foam it’s game over.The top edge should also be plastic

[@farzein4002]

Shouldn't you use a different contrasting color?

[@eweepurburger]

Thought the same!

[@floridagirl9064]

Yes. This is a cheat lol

[@ottomatic7823]

It takes what, 1 minute to remove the switch cover . Any job worth doing is worth doing well.

[@slavatko]

Its handle must be uncomfortable though, harder than holding a brush

[@felicitarosario1266]

I should have used this instead of tape didn’t get the results I wanted ,well atleast I know for next time .

[@costa1691]

Can a extension pole attache to this?

[@adamrichardson9105]

Yes it can, it saved me a ton of time cutting in.

[@lrh411]

Painting around a switch cover is tweaker stuff.

[@toservemen]

Haha

[@pinkyfloydyfan1]

It's a shame, but I see that you're using the pads badly. Surely you do a good job, but with the pads you have the wrong technique. That said without taking anything away from your good work. Here's how to use the pads properly. Painting by making an inverted U. Let me explain. FOR A WALL ADJACENT TO A CEILING: 1. Before going against the border, apply the pad on the wall far from the border, then slide it towards the border. It will make an inverted L.. 2. Glide the pad evenly with even pressure, you can go either way. 3. To remove the pad, slide it down. This will complete the inverted U. Remove by sliding and not directly as you do, because it produces peaks!!! TO SOAK PAINT WITH PAINT: Just immerse the hairs and rub the pad on the edge of the tray, it removes the excess and evens out the paint on the pad. TO REMOVE EXCESS PAINT ON CASTERS: Before repeating steps 1 to 3, rub the small rollers on a wall to be painted. It's a good precaution, because sometimes they get dirty. Wipe this part of the wall. Repeat steps 1 to 3 carefully. I am able to paint a very far wall with pads that fit long sleeves! FOR CORNERS (junction of 2 walls and a ceiling): We have no choice but to use the brush, which is the only one going into the nooks and crannies. FOR ADJACENT WALLS PAINTED THE SAME COLOUR: Use a roller with one end "closed" completely hairy. Never again will I make borders with a brush, it's too long and risky.

[@doylejodi7502]

Remove light switches and plug covers…if you care about doing a more precise job.

[@toservemen]

Yup

[@shure46]

There's no such thing as a "pro" using one of those gimmicky toys that do not work as well "as seen on TV" per usual

[@jeffvanbibber6609]

Take the base plate off.

[@toservemen]

Too late lol

[@girlsdrinkfeck]

i use a cheap dish sponge ,costs like 20p

[@theurbanartist775]

Wow thanks 😃 I am officially about to start painting 🖼 my bedroom right now 12/05/22 at 5:15. I have had my paint and every accessory one can buy and have not found the energy to do it. I bought and electric paint gun, paint pans, all types of brushes and last night this paint edger. You make it seem so easy that I wish I could send you an after pick of my bachelor pad bedroom when I’m done .😂✅ 0nce again this is an amazing video. 🫡
