I'm painting a room in our house
I've done the large parts with a roller and have left the edges
A few problems!
1. I have used a brush for the edges - urrrgh! You can see the brush strokes
I think the brush I have is old (but I thought usable)
Should I invest in a better soft brush?
And do I need to stroke up and down only or something??
2. Do I need caulk?
I read somewhere (I think it was WikiHow), they said that I should put a thin line of caulk down edges??
Do I need to do this? What's the purpose of this?
3. AND do I HAVE to do a double coat?
I think I have the answer to that one already - a lot of places look patchy - and overall the walls looks just not right!
I was hoping I would be able to just get away with it!!
Any advice would be great
Thanks
