Cutting the ceiling is going well, but still need some pointers on cutting along the base board–can even see where the edge of the base is when the pad is there. Any pointers?
As far as the baseboards go… if the color is close to the same, you can leave a 16th to an 8th of an inch and rely on shadows and/or near color blending. If it is enough of a color change and the line has to be sharp, you may need to cut with a brush (you still didn’t have to get a drop out to do it–and brushes clean easily enough. But, if the baseboards are not too porous (meaning that the paint does not soak in and is not hard to wipe off completely), take a chance doing it a little blind, and get close and risk touching the pad a little to the base. Don’t forget to wipe the front edge of the pad on dry wall to get the excess paint off. You can learn to get closer by taking several attempts at cutting blind on each length of wall–getting closer and closer until you barely touch the baseboard. If you get a little paint on the trim, wipe it off. After awhile you will get more precise. If you remember from the DVD, I did not put my face down by the base trim, I just extended the pol
