[BradMr1975]

@legendaryhoopin23 ........do me a favor an dont talk to me directly from now on ok ? ....

[MrSwankgravy]

wouldnt hire you by the hour.

There are no good reasons to cut last, ill tell you why.

You should always cut first and after your 8 or 10 inches of cutting (cut about the thickness of your brush i preferr 2.5 inch brush) then feather it out so you dont see a hard line, then when you roll the wall over lap your cutting and get as close as 3 inches from the ceiling you dont want to see brush strokes specialy close to a window wall with natural light youll see it all especially with darker or exotic colours.

@HelloWorld73013 save your money and use water.......... flotrol messes up your brushes, makes them to soft. penetrol is good though, attacks the vehicle not the body

[BradMr1975]

@TheSHCS not yet and you shouldnt be in such a hurry...... please tell me you can paint with both hands? so far it looks like your just a righty!!.... no way in hell you can hang with me if thats the case lol. i cut the straightest lines in the east ...fastest this side of the mississippi :-)

[TheSHCS]

I'll try to get an update video on this to cover the many reasons cutting last on new drywall is important and why we do it. I understand this it opposite what most learn but for good reason.

[TheSHCS]

@BradMr1975 This is an instructional video on cutting inside corners. Post a video with your whole body behind a tripod positioned so the camera is at the ceiling line with your head behind it. If you want to see fast cutting over bare drywall, just ask.. I'll be happy to show you fast.

Should you do corners first or does it matter? Thanks

[WarriorMonk786]

This has nothing to do with the video but you seem like a pretty knowledgeable painter who knows his shit. Im using Coronado primer + paint and even after cleaning my purdy with soap, warm water, and a comb theres still crumbs of paint in the brstles. Would you know how I would get rid of them? Also recently my purdy has gotten kind of stiff, its not as flexible as before even when dry, the bristles dont spread out as much when I cut. Would you happen to know why? Thanks.

[smeatonx]

how do i work out how much paint i need for a wall? do i figure out the area of the wall then do something else, cause i forgot!

[TheSHCS]

@smeatonx Height x Width = the square feet of the wall. So an 8' high wall x 12' wide wall = 96 sq ft. Many gallons of paint will cover 400 sq ft of area. So if you had 4 walls 8' H by 12' wide, a gallon should do it.

@HelloWorld73013

we are using Behr ultra white premium paint. And we are having trouble with it covering corners. paint seems to be too transparent

[TheSHCS]

@taledarkside Hey Excellent comment! This is not typical of BEHR paint in fact that can occur with any paint using common techniques. I have that problem with certain colors too. So my tip would be this, if you know you can do the runs fine then prior to getting to seated in the job... run a fast light coat into your inside corners. Do just enough to get paint there.

I can do the runs fine too in most cases but my corners can dry streaky.

Too firm of a brush can cause that too

[taledarkside]

wondering how many coats do you apply? friend of mine is a contractor and he says he doesn't use behr because it needs more than 1 coat. He uses the contractor type paints that hide inperfections and only take 1 coat.

[TheSHCS]

@taledarkside Contractor paints are for "down and dirty" painting. They are typically much thicker than quality paints. Your friend SHOULD be able to make them work in one coat. Thats no surprise. All paints can require a certain level of skill to make them works best. I have no problem doing one coat of BEHR Premium Plus Ultra in the colors ive used but a true professional wont leave in one coated.

[TheSHCS]

The paint is not thinned.

[8Libertine8]

Is that paint thinned with something a little bit to help the flow?

[kenmasters8]

wow you make it look so easy. great job

My response to that is... I want you to know that the simple fact that you have no clue about the 10 advantages (good ones) for cutting last on a prime or a first coat is "rookie" at best

[PeckhamExile]

@TheSHCS ..What are they then SHCS? ...im intrested to know..I have done the same when the ficnish coat is guarenteed to cover..(like the brown over the white) it certainly saves cutting in twice, providing it doesnt 'flash'

[530PAINTER]

when u paint eggshell on smooth walls always cut in first n then roll cuz u will c the brush marks

[micyficy]

Dude, your like a freakin expert pro!

[irich62]

you don't have to cut it in a foot wide! damn amateurs!

[mondomission]

like that matters lol mayb he or she has no contro lwith a roller saves them hitting the ceiling

[crackkyadome]

unfortunately there is no way that cutting in a ceiling line could be taught...takes a few years to achieve the proper form and technique...the crisp line is what separates the amateur and the pro.

[crazyanimeguy]

Is brushing corners first or the roll?

[flourishjoe]

ya ive used lots of different name brands basically the good brands use the better types of acrylics and material you will get better coverage much nicer finish and its gonan be very nice to apply the cheap stuff is best used when the job requires a quick fast paint job like a garage or some room where you know its gonan get beat up alot. ive always found that paint that was on the watery side was always better i cant stand thick paint i usually thin my paint anyways

[flourishjoe]

btw your a good painter you have nice form just dont like the rollers u are using :)

[flourishjoe]

are u using corona ?? cause if u are good choice!!! purdy going downhill

[gagootz1]

Roller spray is the spray off of the roller when you roll a wall.. If you ever go into a home to paint where people live as apposed to new construction you will notice little splatters on the baseboard of you do not cover. That is what I mean by overspray. Local 147 chicago 18 years in the trade.

[k0rrruptttttt]

nice man, im on my 2nd year of my painting apprentiship interior and exterior, your video's give some helpful tips.

[slowjamcdub]

what color is the paint on Painting - Rolling Walls the proper way video???

[TheSHCS]

I generally dont care or feel the need to explain why things are done the way I do them but in this case you can obviously see that this is a first coat and it doesn't matter when the cut happens. The cut happens last in this video because the advantages far outweigh doing it the other way around. Not only that but you can clearly see whats happening in the video this way.

[wiserbud23]

i am a painter in the field and you're right about doing your technique that some might say is wrong. as long as the end result is fantastic right?

[TheSHCS]

On a repaint, yes. This is new construction; cutting last is done for efficiency on first coat. I am able to cut 11-14 feet per minute this way. Having paint on the wall allows me to cut easier and faster.

If I cut before rolling on first coat, my cutting paint will dissolve drywall mud just enough to lighten the cut from the roll.

On second coat, cut first, roll last. I roll the walls very tight to the ceiling and trim on second coat.
