Decorating .....Cutting in and rollering?

[Redsun]

When painting with emulsion is it best to cut in first before rollering? or rollering first then cut in?

Any help appreciated

hello Resun, don't know if its right but i always cut in first then roller, you can roller over most of the brush marks then :p

i hate painting.

All the decorators we have had cut in first, roller second. Resist the urge to put too much paint on the roller as you will be covered in specle marks. I actually prefer to use paint pads, especially if it is a textured surface. I decorate bedrooms etc myself but pay for the public areas to be done.Remember you can tightly cling film the roller for up to twenty four hours, make sure it is air tight tho'. Inset a placcy bag (pedal bin size no holes) in the roller tray and you can remove it turn it inside out as you do it, instant clean up!

What do you mean by "cut in"? Is that where the wall and ceiling meet. Mine never looks right.
