• Tips on cutting in edges and painting ceilings.

Begin by “cutting in” a corner of the ceiling with a paint brush or paint pad, applying a 5cm to 10cm-wide band of paint along the area where the ceiling meets the wall. Paint about 90cm at a time, then go over this area with a loaded roller; doing so will help prevent visible lap marks. Do not cut in the entire ceiling before rolling paint onto the middle section. It is best to work your way across the ceiling by cutting in 90cm sections on both sides of the room, then rolling out the middle area. To help keep the paint edges from drying, work across the narrower dimension of the room first, and apply paint liberally for good coverage.
