Rolling over your cut-in
« on: October 03, 2007, 02:35:54 PM »
Do any of you roll over your cut ins with a roller to give it a rolled look (as your cutting in)? Is it worth the effort?

The experts may disagree but I cut in a area say from the wall to the first doorway then I roll. Once all the paint is on the wall I go horizontal up near my cut and the below near the mop board. then back roll the whole thing.

We Alway roll the corners and next to vertical trim tight. We don't usually roll tight to horizontial trim unless we are using a sheen higher than eggshell, the higher the sheen the more the roller nap will show a difference in the cut in.... darker colors can also make a difference...

I cut then roll but I do try to avoid rolling over a wet cut. I roll snug to everything.
