Cutting in a corner is a technique used by professional painters to achieve a professional appearance along the ceiling edge of a wall and in the corners of the room. It is a simple technique that requires a trim brush. Trim brushes can be recognized by the beveled bristles at the tip of the brush. The shape is similar to a chisel. This type of brush makes it easier to paint right up to the line where two different colors meet. Cutting in a Corner Against the Ceiling
Apply blue painter’s tape or Frog Tape® on the ceiling to prevent any paint from getting onto the ceiling. Using tape is optional. Pros don’t need to use tape as we have a steady hand. Consider the tape to be a guide only. To make it easier to “cut in” the corner, dip the paint brush a third of the bristle length into the paint.
