Steps for Painting Edges Without Painters Tape

  1. Prepare the Surface:Clean your surface thoroughly, removing dust and grease. Sand uneven areas to ensure a smooth base.For the best results, apply a primer like Ultraseal® to enhance paint adhesion and create a flawless foundation.
  2. Load the Brush Correctly:Dip the brush one-third into the paint and tap it gently on the side of the tin to remove excess. This prevents drips and ensures smooth application.
  3. Perfect Your Technique:Hold the brush at a 45-degree angle and use steady, even strokes along the edge. Let the brush’s natural shape guide your hand.
  4. Start Strategically:Begin by cutting in around trims and corners before painting larger areas. This ensures a seamless transition between detailed and broader strokes.
  5. Avoid Common Mistakes:Don’t overload the brush, as too much paint can result in messy edges.Take your time and maintain a steady hand for consistent results.

By following these steps and choosing the right brush, you’ll achieve sharp, clean edges without the need for painter’s tape.
