Condo Reno How to Paint Walls & Ceilings Made Easy/Part 37

Let's just let's just look at this little area a little bit the worst the worst thing you can do When you're trying to cut in a line You're trying to cut this line in Is load your paintbrush up and have so much paint on there That as you're as you're getting ready to put it on the wall You're going to use all that paint right along that edge. It's never going to work never That paint is going to run over the edge. You may say oh i'll just i'll just hold it an eighth of an inch above the baseboard Until that paint kind of runs off there. That's not going to work either And then what's going to happen is you're going to create a line Right there and and and every time you go back to try to finish it That line extends down here and then pretty soon you hit that line of paint and then it Spooges up on top of the baseboard You just can't do that. So when I'm, not gonna i'm not gonna get a whole lot of paint on here at any one go. I'm only gonna i'm only gonna cut in Probably from there to about here at any one Time, but what I do is once I get the paint on here Okay I and i'll clean it up and that's and that's why I like to not use That's why I don't like to use a bucket or anything like that I like to just use a little paint tray because I can just set it in the paint tray dab it a little bit like that Okay. Now as I have it on there, i'm gonna come up here high And and i'm gonna i'm gonna wipe this paint off on the wall like that I'm gonna wipe it off the wall Okay, then the paint that I have here is my staging area I use that paint and i'm gonna end up using most of that paint down here Okay, i'm gonna put it on i'm gonna put it on here and kind of wipe that edge off up high So I don't hit the base Then i'm gonna come down a little bit lower and then i'm gonna kind of clean my brush off and then I'm gonna come back in here like this Slide it down See how I can put the paintbrush up here and then just bend up bend it And and and it pooches down and I can make a line just like that And then I'm only going to go so far Then i'm going to take this paint like this Where the staging area is and i'm going to load it up on my paintbrush and i'm going to do it again boom Okay and then If I have ridges on here, which I do the spray texture sometimes Sometimes when the paint goes on there, it doesn't cover up all those ridges You may think I just put more thicker paint on there more paint. Well, you don't want too much paint down to this edge because Then it could start running on here or you could make a line there. Now. You're like, oh man How do I get that off? Okay. I see what he's talking about now And so I may go like this You know once or twice along here and if I still see something i'm going to flip it around And then i'm going to do the same thing backwards And i'm just going to hit that boom And that's going to take the paint that that went over that bump And it's going to pull it back on the bump where it missed. You see what I mean? and it It's kind of it kind of takes a knack to do it and so that's why I want you to watch These videos on me cutting this in Okay Because it's it's kind of tricky It's kind of tricky but you can do it. You just spend a little bit of time on it little patience And again, I like to I like to go from left to right I just I just have a better knack of doing it. But see if you're going from right to left If I if I did this wall from right to left, this is how I would do it I would Say as i'm right I have to look down low enough over the edge of this paintbrush so that I can see this edge so i'm gonna be down i'm gonna Be like that And then i've got to hold my hand way up here it's kind of awkward I could hold my hand here and do this Or i'm gonna hold my hand here and then I have to I have to really I have to really bend down in there To see that. Do you see what I mean? It's it's very It's very tricky In order to do it from right to left for me with me being right-handed. It's just Because i'm here like this And I have to I have to really Get down and dirty So I can see it. This is kind of this is usually how I'll do it You know put my hand out here put my head down here But I can't do that when i'm in a corner if i'm in a corner I may have to Kind of do this business You know As I go So that's that's why That's why I like to go that's why I like to go from right to left Because i'm right here i'm dabbing in my paint Tray i've got my knee pad here And I can just kind of Be like this Put it on Get down in there And go for it Take my paint right here Do it again You can't just cut it in you can't just cut this line in one time. I think you're done. It's never going to work You gotta get more paint on there And then and then swish it around there. See I got some high spots over there And then i'm gonna have to fill that in make sure I get that plenty of of paint on there And then when I get down in here And cut that in I may end up having to cut that in twice that direction and I may have to go back this way to hit any Bits that are missing So, I mean you're talking from from this little section I'm going to actually cut it right into the baseboard probably three or four passes Do you see what I mean? And I just push it up here slide it down there Don't don't just try to put this exactly where it goes. It's hard to do that. Okay I'm going to be up here. I'm going to push down Spread it Squeeze a little bit And slide it And see that's the other thing i've got eggshell paint on here you slide that eggshell paint on there's You might think oh, it's not thick enough Then you've got to put a little bit more on and then go back this other way to clean it up. You see what i'm saying? So it just it takes a real knack at doing it, but if you're patient and you have a steady hand You can do it Okay and that goes for That goes for around door frames that goes for door frames that goes for for around windows Same thing You know, i'm just putting it up up like that Bending it and then I get right down Right down where I need it You know when I do a corner up there I do the same thing I do this and squeeze it in there To do that inside corner then come down here at a 45 Come down there at a 45 do that one up there at a 45 and go a little bit and then i'm kind of I'm kind of upside down I'm kind of upside down as i'm holding this on my ladder And stuff and you'll you'll get pretty good at it Then when you when you get done do the best you can when you get done you can stand back and you can kind of look now see up in here I didn't do too great It was very difficult man It's hard to see Yeah, where are we? It's hard to see that up there but I can see There's a couple there's different spots Excuse me. There's some different spots up there Where I can go back there and do a better job Some of it could be on the ceiling some of it could be on the wall Okay, and I can clean I can clean that stuff up But when you're when you're working you're up there high off of a ladder and you're trying to do the best you can And you've got a light on or you don't You know, you're just up there You're holding your head up at an angle and you're trying to hold this as best you can flat Up against the ceiling your eyes start getting wiggy. You're squinting you're getting tired. You're sore and all that kind of stuff and Sometimes your your your trim doesn't look very good. Now that that wall i'm going to cut this wall in again Now that it's dry and I stand back I can see the different areas so I can stand back get up there on a ladder And clean up that line now this line this line over here. I did way better I don't know. I don't know what the deal is. This one was came out nice and straight And up here on the soffit That that actually turned out pretty good There's a couple little spots where I see One over there and one about there I can I can clean that up and the other the other day I had I had to paint with this little paint brush Right up along the scribe mold of the cabinets now. I see I got just a little bit of paint up there Hey, there's I could I could only do the best that I could up there and contorted different Positions and stuff and i'll be able to clean that off with the with a sharp putty knife And in fact, I might want to do that first thing this morning uh with my sharp Putty knife and i've got a i've got a sharp one here. See how sharp that one is This one this one here used to look like that. I use this one for all kinds of stuff When when it gets bad don't just throw them away you should have seen the other one I had it it was It it went about that big and I use that for all kinds of stuff For scraping and stuff it finally snapped off and now now i'm using that one so I just kind of I just kind of go on down the road, but um Try starting to do your painting.
