How to Use a Shur-Line Paint Edger

Brian Santos, the Wall Wizard, demonstrates how to use a Shur-Line paint edger. While painter's tape is great for edging, it is not the ultimate answer. Shur-Line's paint edger is made of plastic so it doesn't corrode. It also has a swivel handle for easy handling and can be put on a paint extension pole. This paint edger gives a nice straight edge without the hassle of painter's tape. And, once you are done, you can easily eject the paint pad for quick clean-up.

I tried this thing a bunch of times, it sucks, i had to constantly clean the plastic guide and I still got paint in the wrong places. I do not recommend it, you will end up throwing it away. I paint for a living and really tried to give it a try. Not worth the hassle.

Ive been painting as a contractor for about 7 years without any cutting tools, just a Purdy brush. Now I have labours using this cutting tool. Works great if used right.

TIME IS MONEY !!

Professional painters just stck to the old basic's PLEASE! A brush and a good steady hand thats all you need dam! Home owners buy shit like this!

Don't waste your money on these gadgets, they never work as nicely as advertised. Invest your money in a good brush and good tape (i.e., Frog).

Followed this technique step for step and this is the first time I've painted the walls without getting paint all over the ceiling and the molding! The retractable edge guards are great, and when you scrape the excess paint off the pad you won't get paint all over them (which was always my problem). Did the whole room without having to clean the edger once :)

Aaaah. I was missing the scrape step! :)

how da hell did longboarding bring me here?

I agree - this thing sucks! Tried it last nite to cut into a corner ceiling and wall. The paint bled no matter what I did. Do not waste your money on this thing. Use a brush and practice doing a straight line without any gadgets!

On a second look i see exactly what they did to give the false impression that this works. You see the thick white caulk bead ontop of the backsplash. They prepped the edge like that to give off an illusion of a clean cutin. But theres actually an ugly jagged edge and a gap between thetop of the backsplash. Its suppose to be tight if you actually wanna look at it and say "nice" green paint with a white line against the black counter looks stupid lol

Dont use or buy this crap it wont do the clean crisp paint job you want. Thats why the video is not in HD and thats why they didnt even show you a closeup.I mean really no closeup? Thats like trying to sell you a diamond from behind stained glass. Thats also why not a single professional painter uses this. We all wish it was this easy but its not. Thats why you see bad paint jobs everywhere and professionals always use a quality brush. This is just another crap marketing gimmick. Peace
