a flat bush with more bristles is what is best. Flat brushes are actually called wall brushes. Angled brushes don't hold enough paint for cutting walls and leave voids because they don't have enough bristles.
That is very much brush dependent and the painter's preference. Low quality brushes have low bristle counts. I use a sashed Corona Cortez and I've never had an issue with voids or missed areas. Whatever you're doing you've got to pay attention to what you're doing. I do a lot of technical cutting in, which is why I use an angled brush. When I do something like siding or deck staining then I use a squared off brush. You might be surprised at the types of brushes guys in the field get good with.
@@SuperVassarBrothers Bristle count is determined by its intended use, not necessarily by the quality of the brush. A trim brush doesn't need the same bristle count as a wall brush. The Cortez is a very good brush, but it's just not a wall brush. Corona makes a couple of wall brushes like the Monteray and the Opal. The Cortez is super thin compared to those brushes.
Great work sire and wish I could give you a 100 likes. Cheers and regards. I notice most prows feather out with brush and a few back roll to match paint stipple of roller.
Man, I love watching a craftsman ply his trade. You make it look effortless. I live in Florida and have knockdown finish on all surfaces, would you have any tips on cutting up against crown molding or baseboards?
You can cut the line between the walls and the crown the same way I cut the walls into the ceiling in this video. You can also tape the bottom of the crown with painters tape like we taped out the baseboard in part 14. Taping out the baseboard is a solid move and you can get good results particularly if you use a good tape and get a good seal on the tape. I went over that in Part 14 as well. Thanks for watching and good luck with your project!
Do you guys always cut in all the walls ina room first, or do you guys cut one wall at a time before rolling to keep a wet edge? Just wondering if it’s noticeable to the eye if you come back to roll the walls after your edges are dried. Thank you for the great video and your time reading/writing comments!
Back in the day paints were quite finicky and you had to keep a wet edge and roll right away. Nowadays, at least with the products that we typically use, it's not imperative to keep a wet edge when cutting and rolling a wall. I usually cut the whole room in then roll. However, if you're working with a cheaper product or a really dark color, then it's not a bad idea to do one wall at a time. I find that to be more important with the darker colors. It also depends on your speed. We're fairly quick at cutting in (particularly when we're not filming), so it's not usually an issue. If the cut-ins are taking a long time then you might also want to cut and roll in smaller sections. Good luck with your project!
I like them both. We mostly use Duration Matte for interior walls. We also Duration Flat for walls in large areas that have a lot of natural light, like entryway foyers. Emerald is good as well, its just more expensive and I haven't experienced a noticeable difference in quality that would make me want to switch over to the more expensive Emerald line.
@@SuperVassarBrothers duration is $70 and emerald is $75 for me since I don’t have an account. I would by during a sale though. Not sure how much of a difference your prices are but for $5 more is the emerald worth it?
There's a 30% off sale at Sherwin Williams on paint and supplies February 5th through the 8th. I'd recommend getting whichever paint you can get a better deal on. You can't go wrong with either. $5 may not make a big difference if you're only getting a few gallons, but if you're getting a big order then it can add up. Good luck with your project!
@@SuperVassarBrothers yes that’s what I was going to wait for was the 30% off. Other people Said about setting up an account but I thought that goes by how much you buy to get better deals so the 30% off is prob my best bet.
Hi there. Some guys do cut in with a small roller to mimic a roller finish for the entire wall, downside is you still need to use a brush to cut in the ceiling line, and sometimes the baseboards. Also you would have to tape off doorframes, and window frames. We hand cut in those and don't have to tape. Some guys love the mini roller method, we haven't noticed much of a difference, and usually only use it on dark accent walls. Hope this helps!

1 wall at a time Because if you do more and the cut dries you will get a thing called picture framing
What do you think of duration vs emerald for interior walls?
I like them both. We mostly use Duration Matte for interior walls. We also Duration Flat for walls in large areas that have a lot of natural light, like entryway foyers.

What are the reason(s) against cutting with a small roller?

@@SuperVassarBrothers Thank you. I’m definitely going to give cutting with a brush a real go. Lol I do hate taping :P
Takes some patience, but takes less time (if you have the patience) than taping every edge and then painting!
And you'll get faster and faster at it!
