Stop Making This Painting Mistake! (Why Cutting Like a 'Pro' Might Not Be The Best Way To Paint)

[@davidfillian134]

I take off all plate covers, cut in as best I can at ceiling then cut ceiling onto wall 1/8 of an inch with caulk and tape, best method for textured walls, which is majority of walls i do.you get laser straight lines everytime.

Nice work! I have watched a lot of cut in videos and your lines are probably some of the cleanest! I'm glad I found it, I think the title kept it low in my search? Thanks

[@RefreshHomeImprovements]

Thanks, Chad! We really appreciate the support! 👊😉

[@DAMON409]

Cutting is easy if you know what it actually is. It's all about letting the bristles conform to the inside corner of whatever surface you're cutting. So you need a quality brush.

[@alexthomson7465]

I'm going to try this method. Thanks. 👍🏻

[@RefreshHomeImprovements]

Hope you enjoy

[@Joos-676]

The real problem is… why aren’t you taking off the switch plate covers lol

[@megalodon6134]

It's a problem if you are not a real painter

[@renostubbs8504]

Awesome video

[@RefreshHomeImprovements]

Really appreciate that, Thanks!

How long does it take to cut in a room

[@RefreshHomeImprovements]

Generally speaking, much longer than it will take to roll it 👍

[@JJ33438]

thank you

[@RefreshHomeImprovements]

You're welcome, Joan!

[@easypainterslondon]

Good job

[@RefreshHomeImprovements]

Much appreciated 👍

[@alanthealien6859]

Always start your cutting in a few centimetres below and work the paint up.

[@marcarriaga3201]

First of all take pff the plat vover and of you have to cute around somethimg dont put your brusj verticle to the object but horizontal .you wnat the paint on the wall not gunked up on one line.amd get a good brush for cutting

[@Bassslayer0]

Lol i knew it was the angle you were looking at those videos at.

[@carterholder987]

Pros do not cut using either one of these methods it only would have taken slightly more effort on the first methods would have been just as good and twice as fast

[@RefreshHomeImprovements]

Anyone capable of painting the way you’re describing should definitely do so. Most people are not, and trying to paint with more “effort” usually doesn’t improve things. We think this is the better method for achieving a cleaner cut. Appreciate your input though 👍

[@iSpRayZz]

Lol

[@JuiceDrinker-gi3qv]

We take all outlet and switch plates/covers off. Its not appealing to the home owner if they ever want to change those covers. Then they see doo doo green paint from the 70s. I always take them off and before i put them back, i clean them off. And all screws go in the same direction. A freshly painted wall isn't as pretty with dirty covers.

[@RefreshHomeImprovements]

Nice! 👍

[@getstraight234]

It's not movie Magic you're just not that good at cutting in if you get that much paint on the socket covers

[@keithcarthy1893]

I think it's called doing a demo video, lol 🤷

[@steveharris5730]

Great video. Out of curiosity… What brush are you using in this video?

[@DesilateLamprophony]

You're simply using your brush incorrectly. That's the only reason you use this pointless method. Obviously you're paid by the hour.

[@Johnnyquid20]

Just hire a professional painter. People pay thousands for a home. Then paint it themselves. 🫣
