Cutting in

[el_scorchio]

I am ****e at cutting in, i just dont have a steady hand.

Whats the best way to make sure you dont have to go over and over the places that you have painted.

I have tried masking tape but it just pulls the paint of the wall

Make sure your emulsion isn't too heavy as you want your brush to glide along the wall leaving a nice sharp edge around the things you cut round.So if your cutting in emulsion is dragging too much thin it up 10%.You can always go over it again.
Do one wall at a time m8 Starting with your hardest bit by cutting in your tops along the ceiling first,then down your walls ,round windows,doors etc and finally along the skirting.Use a decent quality brussh with a good setting.
If you invest in a decent brush it will last you for ages if you look after it and is worth the extra outlay.The way I always say it is"Would you let a hairdresser cut your hair if he bought scissors down at Boots ?"
A 3 or 2 and a half inch brush are an easy size for handling but be sure to scrape excess emulsion on the brush off on the edge of the tin every so often to stop the brush getting overloaded.

Good luck with the job BTW!
