@CanadaGuy80 No nothing added, its a flat over itself. You are actually looking at Benjamin Moore Super Spec Flat which is a very heavy and slow paint to apply. The cut length was just over 5'
There are so many surfaces caulked smooth near a casing , texture walls
a two coat coverage needed, more porous surface sucking up the paint.
A hot day with the surface slowing the paint etc. Using this technique in the video
is fine with smooth walls , same color over itself, caulked smooth first having too uneven surfaces to begin with. As you reach high or tight corners , around bends,
you better know how to feed and move towards your cut-in line like the pin strip guy does , (more carefully)
Not to offend the applicator , it is true with that brush just having the right amount of material in the right spot is how a razor line is applied. The brush becomes like a pencil drawing a line. I just make production with a more loaded brush starting to the right of the casing using the extra paint on the brush sides to move more material to be blended into the roller material thus getting a fuller cut in and spread it out before moving into my perfect straight line into the casing
if you watch a guy pin stripe a car you get the point , my explaining my 40 years of holding a brush arent that easy for the amateur to pickup right away, Using this quick swipe in the video can work depending who's going to look at any extra paint on the side of that natural wood casing , a painter professional or a homeowner who is ready to accept it. If I were to accept a perfect line , it would be taped and sprayed. A pro feeds the material and watches it move in as needed
@basracer I didnt realize you were implying this was not a razor sharp perfect cut with no paint on the wood. Its a flawless cut. Speed has nothing to do with this cut. The brush is primarily what allows me to make those fast cuts because its razor sharp when it lays on the wall coupled with the method shown. Its extremely effective.
No human hand can resemble a machine like straight line , if you look close
the paint line will never be perfect. If you brush first slightly away from the casing
then move in towards it, you get a guide as to how much material is needed as the stroke moves down and into the casing feeding paint as needed, not a one stroke slightly flooded line that too easily moves in and out creating an uneven
line sooner or later. The arm will move off center once your extended anyway
my technique of staggering the cut in line is so a one coat coverage is possible as it matches the roller technique to match an uneven roller pattern up to an uneven cut in like blending a match like as if sprayed no boxlike lines to show through
Ever gone in a room and seen someone try to cover blue with white in one coat ?
The straight cut in lines show through the one thin coat roller coat that overlaps
the straight lines of you brush strokes Hope thats clear
when you dip into the paint and tap both sides of the brush , your loading the brush
more correctly. The reason is , you dont cut in close on the first stroke, as you make the up down stroke it removes paint from the brush sides anyway and then leaves the remainder on the tip as in the video. Having enough cut in from the door casing allows the cut in to be uneven so if it dries with too straight a line, it may project through the rolled coat having better hide as if a two coat process was done
@basracer My apologies the video is not clear on how this method is being executed. There needs to be a side view of the cut. The cut method in the video is extremely efficient and very effective. The paint is exactly where it needs to be. In the brush not outside of it. Obviously very effective.
Hey jack. I am amazed at your skill. Are you using floetrol or some other paint additive/conditioner?

@basracer head over to jack pauhl website and on the right side is a break down of this cut in more detail. Link in the description.

@WarriorMonk786 Its actually easier to cut a straight line quickly like he does than trying to do it slowly.
