    Watching a vid on cutting in is much more enjoyable than actually cutting in.

    You and I cut in the exact same way. It leaves such a beautiful line and clients always love it so much. Thank you for mentioning “feathering” in the chunky line. People don’t realize how that line sticks out. Great painting buddy! I love being a painter.

    Cutting in is easy on a smooth wall like that, I'd like to see you cut in on really rough textured wall like I've got.

    Your clear instructions and reassuring tone made me believe I'd be great at this on the first try. 😂
    Turns out that I need more practice, and did a lot of wiping paint off of other surfaces with a damp cloth.
    Picture a complete newbie to DIY, who's cack handed, a bit impatient, using watered down paint for a mist coat, which dribbly unless very thinly applied. Not sure why I was so confident I'd smash it, honestly!
    At least it was just white paint and easy to keep wiping off. No doubt practice will improve my technique. At least I got myself a good cutting in brush, so with thicker paint, and less absorbent walls, I might stand a chance.

    If you slightly clean the side of the brush that goes against the ceiling you can cut it in one stroke, is more faster and will leave no excessive paint. Of course you need to practice in order to get good at it.
