- In today's video I am going to show you two different methods on how to cut in on a wall. As a bonus I will also be showing you how to clean up a scuff mark made from a garbage can and recycle bin rubbing on the wall.
Method 1 Cut In- This will simply be grabbing a good paint brush and cutting a line on the wall where it meets the counter top.
Method 2 Cut In- Lay Yellow Frog Tape down where the Counter Top meets the wall. Use your finger once the tape line is laid to really adhere the tape to the counter top. Take a damp rag and go over the Frog Tape to really seal in that line. Grab your Whiz Roller and Start above the counter top to remove excess paint and then move down rolling until the Whiz Head meets the Frog Tape. Go back and forth until you have sealed that line between the counter top and the Frog Tape Line.
Tools Needed:
-Purdy Bucket
-Whiz Roller
-Paint Brush
-Paint
-Frog Tape(Yellow)
-5 in 1 Tool
-Damp Rag - Jak na to + styl
This is the exact set up I use when cutting in any job. That Purdy container is fantastic. It allows you to have 100% control by locking it to your hand with the loose plastic strap and of course magnetic brush holder and perfect rolling area for the 4 inch roller. If you get this setup and become proficient in the use of it, you will greatly increase your efficiency and quality of results!!!
Yes! The old way was using two cut cans. One for your brush and one for your whiz roller with a grate leaned on an angle inside. This Purdy Bucket gets it right all in one and is so much more efficient! Thanks for sharing your experience and happy cutting!

Good video so I subscribed for more decorating tips👌
Thanks for subbing!
I've found as I head into my mid 50s my skills aren't what they were when I was decorating in my 30s and 40s and decorating my house can be annoying, especially cutting in. My house is 30ish years old and has had many, many, bad decorating jobs done over it's lifetime and I find the making good takes 3 or 4 times as long as the painting. I tend to mask up things now as I find it easier especially on worktops or wall to tiled areas or skirting boards. I'd rather spend an hour masking than 2 hours cleaning paint up, not much of a problem as I start at the ceiling and work down to the skirting (as you should when painting the whole room)👍👍👍👍👍
The bolder the colour difference between a wall and ceiling will show all imperfections. Nothing wrong with taping to achieve factory finish lines. Thank you for subbing and sharing.
Awesome
Nice lines. How long did you wait before pulling the tape? Was the paint dry, semi-dry or still wet?
Ok Bradley thanks for the question. The truth is you can pull the tape literally right after you just painted. You just have to be mindful of not hitting your freshly painted wall with your tape as you peel it up or your palm/side of your hand. I have always recommended waiting 10-20 minutes before pulling the tape. The paint sets up quicker than you think but is still flexible enough to pull so this is the method I use. It’s not recommended to wait a day or longer before pulling the tape because the line you made between the wall and the tape fuses together and when you pull the tape it can ruin your wall by splicing the paint when you pull the tape. Good luck on your painting projects and please have the confidence to try without the tape. Both methods are great and there is a time and place for each of them.
@@LeeDoesStuff Thanks for the detailed reply. I'm highly experienced and competent cutting-in with a brush, but I've got a potential job coming up where we'll be creating extremely precise workmanship with caulk lines and tape. I used to successfully do that sometimes, but that was a long time ago and I forget some things due to an IED detonation in Iraq.
@@LeeDoesStuff It looked like in the video you were pulling the tape up nearly vertical, instead of at an angle. Is that correct?
It may have looked straight vertical on the camera but I was pulling slightly away from the wall. Pulling up vertically wouldn’t hurt anything as long as you don’t bump the wall with your hand.
@@LeeDoesStuffgot it. Thank you.
