  • If anyone takes tips from this guy you will be doing it all over again. 1st. You always start by cutting in. Rolling after you cut in covers the brush marks. 2nd. You alway start rolling upwards to minimize runs, drips and splash in a M shape. 3rd. Never stop your roller in the middle of a stroke and pull it from the wall. Pull the roller and brush away from the wall in the stroke in a curve motion. This is a funny one, lol!

  • I hate these advertisements before the vids!
