Hey jack. I am amazed at your skill. Are you using floetrol or some other paint additive/conditioner?

@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'

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

@basracer Thanks for the comments. Lets talk cutting-in at paint talk forum. Search it.

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.

dam that was a fast cut line! Good job

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)

[basracer]

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
