Where everyone has trouble while painting is cutting along ceilings and moldings, and some other areas where you require straight linings. If you follow some of the below mentioned steps then you can become a professional, if not at that high level then at least you can improve accuracy and speed in cutting in technique.
- Make a perfect composition of paint.
- Do not overload the brush if you do so then you would get uneven lining whereas we need a symmetrical lining while painting.
- Use small brushes at corners or wherever you require them, no matter if it takes more time.
- When painting near the joints make sure you leave some spaces before the joint line, before you go for painting those spaces complete your remaining work, at last have a look there and paint that portion in a precise manner, you can even mark such end lines with the help of a pen or pencil.
- At last to wipe off the goofs or spitted areas, cover your brush with a cloth and brush the area you need to wipe out, don’t forget to apply paint thinner on the cloth.
Masking off

One can use this trick in two ways:
Hiding the unpainted part
After painting out your walls and ceilings, you leave the corners for completing it at last, but you don’t have to do it anymore, take a quality painters tape and apply it at the corners and edges to hide the unpainted portion. It would add up a good elegance too.

Spreader paint edger

This tool consists of a tank, a plain surface having a pad front, and a pipe connecting the tank and the front pad. The pipe is even connected to supply the paint to the pad. In some cases instead of tanks we use a tray to supply paint through a tube.
This tool is easily available at any of the hardware shops; more often you can even construct it in your home itself. All you need is a tank to store paint, a pad, and some tubes / pipes to supply paint to the pad. The price of a spreader paint edger is almost $10 or less than that depends on the constructing material and the quality of the pad. This type of edger costs much less than roller edger, thus if you don’t want much designs or complexity on your walls and ceilings then you can easily rely on a spreader paint edger.
This tool doesn’t brush the paint on the walls instead of brushing it smears the paint in an inevitable manner, you can get perfect lining and edging, you can even over brush the painting of this tool with the help of brush or with another edge.
Roller paint edger

You can say that it is an upgraded version of a spreader paint edger, in this edger composition is made like a pulley, connected with pipes on both the sides and that both pipes are connected with a main handling pipe and at last a handle is attached with it. When one takes a look at a roller they see it as a clear mechanized tool which is easy to construct. You can make numbers of designs using different roller pads; there are varieties of roller pads available in the market with varieties of design and colors. Some brands of roller paint edger uses metal or plastic to prevent slopping of paints from the either sides.
This type of edger is much more expensive than a spreader paint edger, it does have better function ability than other edgers.

Amongst all the edgers, if you want to select a perfect edger as per your requirements and accessibility I would like to advise you:
Accubrush XT paint edger

It is a roller edge consisting of a tiny brush at both the sides of the roller, those tiny brushes provide a line at both the sides; you can design those tiny brushes if you want to make a design accordingly. A large shield made up of metal or plastic is attached with the roller to avoid smudging in the areas where you are not intended to paint.
The uniqueness of this edger is its tiny brushes which are detachable and designable, and they always run along with the roller in a symmetrical manner. Its roller is large enough to handle a decent amount of paint. This tool is difficult to use while you are working at the corners or junctures. This brush is way too expensive, thus buying it for a DIY purpose is not accurate, if you are a professional and rollers are your best friends at work then you must have one in your collection.

This edger is inexpensive and is easily available at your near hardware and even at the department stores. As it is made up of plastic wheels would not work much longer, it can be used as it is bought new but also at first it won’t work that good, after using it once or twice you may get a good result.
