Everything you need to cut in while painting...

Content: 6. Make the first brushstroke
Dip your brush straight down into the paint, until the paint covers roughly a third of the bristles. Then gently tap, don't wipe, each side of the brush against the side of the paint container to avoid any drips. Holding the brush with a pencil grip for control, make a brushstroke on the wall about two inches away from the edge you’re cutting in, to remove the excess paint. This should be about 12 inches long. 7. Move towards the line
Then turn the brush so that you’re using the narrow edge and paint your downward stroke up to 12 inches long, edging up to the Frog tape/ line. Top tip: Make sure you don’t apply too much pressure as the paint ooze from the brush and create drips. 8.
