How to Paint Around Casing

Video Transcript

"Hi, this is Dan we are working on a demonstration for expertvillage.com. Now we have our wall colored on, we have the trim colored on. For the average homeowner I would take of my casing and my tape. For someone who is a little more artistic, you can cut it in by hand. How I do that is you get your paint on your brush, you want your brush to fan out just like I was discussing earlier. You want it to fan out and then you are going to run that straight down the wall. Depending upon the angle which you stand, you are going to get a better view of where that line should be or a different view where that line should be. You are just going to run it, you are going to want to feather out your edges and continue down. Pick up where you left off and continue on. I do that by just applying pressure, just kind of balancing the brush onto the wall then I can spin it, I can turn it. If you notice little bubbles forming, you can kind of want to pull away and get those bubbles off. Then get back over there and start over. You just want a couple of bristles getting that cut line. Once you fall of you just go ahead and you start over and work your way down. Once you have a good rhythm going you can just go down the entire casing."
