Everything you need to cut in while painting...

Content: To do this start by places a strip of tape in the corner of the ceiling, right where the ceiling meets the wall. Press down on it firmly until it lies flat against the ceiling. Then slowly drag the tape along the length of the ceiling in a straight line, flattening it as you go. If you are doing the entire room as apposed to one feature wall, repeat until the whole ceiling has a ring of tape around it. Top tip: Make sure there are no air pockets, otherwise you run the risk of paint seeping through onto the ceiling. 4. Fill a small paint pail
Pour some paint into a small paint tray – you don’t need much at this stage, only about an inch, as this will prevent spills and saturating your brush too much by mistake. 5. Ensure your visibility is clear
Not clearly seeing what you're doing is a recipe for disaster with every DIY job but most especially when cutting in paint so consider a head lamp/torch to increase your visibility if the room you're working in is dark.
