i always do corners by hand and have a rag handy, tape just cant get a crisp line like a good brush can
for trim that you cant see directly tape that shit and call it a day, especially for multiple coats

house is looking real nice, keep pushing along

use tape to mask. when you have a bumpy surface on the tape you have to be extra carefult to make sure the tape is covering the surface...so press it down real hard. if you have some touchh up to do...use a brand new foam brush to do the edging.

I thought about buying one of those foam brushes. I also thought about taping but it would take FOREVER to do that. I bought one of those hand held edgers but even it comes out uneven at times. I wonder how much it would cost to just have someone do the painting. But there's a satisfaction that comes from seeing the product after putting alot of work into it

dude....TAPE IT. I thought it would take long and wouldnt be worth it...but there is no other way. edging by hand takes longer...and you are doing more than one coat right?

TAPE IT. no other way

Fuck tape

I'm doing one coat unless there's a lot of white still and it looks likes it needs another. I got the paint w/ primer so we'll see how it turns out. It may need another coat

Why not install some ogee moldings? They even come pre painted will save you the hassle of edging and will def look awesome.
