Or do you mean flat to the wall?

I use a roller, Ronald.

That explains the sharp lines but what about the evenness of cover like the pros get? Why wont you tell me?

I assume you mean on the cutting in (this is what the pros call it yknow)?

A tapered brush, plenty of paint on the brush. Some days I do it OK, others, not so much

Roller and two coats.

stir the paint, use a roller and give it a few rolls in the tray to avoid splattering.

two coats minimum.

For the next Fenino can sadpunk’s polo shirt read ‘two coats minimum’ on the back please?

I use a roller, I have tried several types as well, why is it so difficult! Not tried wearing two coats though how does that help? (HAHAHAHA)

Expensive paint too

Got some of that farrow and ball stuff and it’s a dream with 2 coats!

Had some cheap B&Q shit and did about 5 coats to get it even!

But the pros use the cheap shit and still get it even. I don’t understand how they can be doing it so differently.

^this.

Plus practice how to properly cast off - roll the paint out in a methodical, orthogonal way, making sure that the final stroke in always in the same direction.

there are you tube vids you can look at - starting with big zig zags etc (I think). I always just keep doing coats until it looks bearable

also if you are painting on to new plaster you need to do a mist coat 1st - otherwise you will be in a world of pain

I watched this episode the other day - it features a whole “bit” on how to remove masking tape without removing paint

What’s Jimmy’s preferred brand? Does it say?

It is Chuck with the strong opinions on masking tape - but he does not specify a brand

Cutting in is a great term.

dual use as well - I wonder if there is some reason for this painting/dancing crossover?

Cunt didn’t even turn up! Who does that? Roofers! 2 out of 3 been no shows! Ycmiu
