okay, dont mask to cut in, masking for a line is for mill. load your brush and cut away from your line spread your paint before you even go for the line, then when you brush is a bit drier go for your line, lay off when your done cutting you section so you have even coverage.(even if you plan on 2 -3 coat)

Keep up the good work.

I have had tape go hard on me from not being used so I quit buying it unless I have to spray ceiling texture or something else messy where I need to hold plastic up.
