This retired pro used those to good effect. If you don’t go too far with a loaded edger you won’t get skips. With a high contrast finish you need a heavy coat. If your roller guy isn’t following the cutting immediately use the angled front edge in swipes to knock down the ridge that inevitably forms along the outer edge of the swath if carrying enough paint for good coverage.
Hi sir brilliant teacheing as you mentioned most people and most of the videos show dabbing the pad in the tray but the way to go is your technique brush the paint on the pad great job thank you for sharing
I wish I had seen this 3 years ago. I got paint all over the ceiling because I dipped it into the paint t tray. This time around, I bought a paint shield.
This product will work if you follow this video. There is one drawback with the product: the wheels do not allow for you to get the edger right up against the surface not to be painted (i.e. ceiling) to ensure coverage right up to that surface. There is a small gap of about 1/16" to 1/8". Manufacturer needs to allow for the wheels to be adjustable to allow the user to get as close as they want to the surface that you do not want to be painted.
Do painters get up to the edge or are they also leaving a gap? My thought is they are leaving a minuscule straight line gap on ceilings, especially where the corners are not 90 degrees. I have textured ceilings and walls and you simply cannot get right to the edge without it looking horrible in spots where the texture is in the joint.
Tips: 1. DO NOT dip the tool and pad in a tray of paint. Unless you have very steady hands you will get too much paint on the pad and on the frame or wheels and track it all over the adjacent surface you are trying to cut-in around. This is the #1 mistake people make when trying to use this tool and why they give up so quickly with it. 2. Go very slowly with this tool as the guy in the video did. If you go to fast you will all kinds of streaks and dead spots. 3. Go back and feather out the paint on the inside edge away from the cut-in line with a brush while it's still wet. If you don't you will end up with a strong line that will be visible after you are done painting.
Now thats a good idea to paint the bottom with your brush. I am using one tomorrow for the first time and will follow this way instead of the other videos that show it being placed in the paint tray to cover it.
Operator error is usually why a product gets a 1 star review. 3 an 4 star reviews are those who are a bit more realistic. 5 star reviews are those who followed this video or already knew the tricks you helped us all learn.
I''m a professional painter, and use that to do 16ft. ceilings with a pole. Always brush it on , never dip it in paint. If I have to do just the ceiling, it won't work on the rough textures, then I spray , and shield the cut ins.
i tried it once and got wheel marks on the roof...but i dont think i brushed the paint on :(. ....maybe i got paint on the wheels accidentally and didnt realise....this video makes me wanna try it again.
Indeed, the ceiling I have in the video is popcorn ceiling. However, mine has a flat border on the ceiling. If the popcorn is right at the edge, it won't work.
Baseboard is no difference... Make sure when you brush the paint onto the tool, don't brush it too close to the edge. You may also need to use paper towel to clean the wheel on the tool. Hope that helps..
Always go over the first coat again real quick, so you can call it a second coat. lol I've painted some houses , that almost needed 4 coats to cover the original color, usually when your using yellows, they don't cover to good.
I bought that a few yrs ago and I needed to touch up paint and needed to get close up to the edge but this scuffed up the wall. It left hugh scratch marks in the old paint. I immediately stop using it and had to sand the wall down but it was basically useless for me
I wanted to get the Accubrush but Home Depot only had this hand held Sure line. OK I watched the videos, painted on the paint onto the pad, went back and forth SLOWLY (and back and forth and back and forth)..... it worked ok but the time I took to put the paint on the pad with a brush, wipe off when paint got on the edges, go back and forth over those pesky "dry" areas that kept coming up...... I thought I may as well watch a couple expert videos and learn how to just do it with a brush. I think I'll skip these disposable extra-step things, that might be useful, cheap enough for the disposable mind-set, and just learn how to do it right with a brush I can use over and over, as long as I clean it well. But thank you.
You are welcome. If you are able to manage to use a brush than using Shur Line, that's awesome. It requires more skills, and I think you have the skills!
Applying the paint with a paint brush. Why didn’t I think of that myself? But he is completely mistaken in regard to speed. You do not have to move slowly at all. It’s mechanical. As long as you don’t overfill the pad it’s going to work with mechanical precision, regardless of how fast you move. That’s like saying you have to turn the pencil sharpener slowly to get good results. Whether you turn it fast or slow you get the same result.
Sehr gutes Video, ich bin ein Profi-Maler und benutze den Kantenschneider, den Sie verwenden, und ich verwende nur die beste Sherwin Williams-Farbe. Sie veröffentlichen jedoch Fehlinformationen darüber, dass Sie keine Grundierung verwenden. Dies ist eine Lüge, die sie Hausbesitzern verkauft haben und die sie selbst machen jahrelang. Das Management von Sherwin Williams wird das nicht einmal versuchen.
I can use that faster than you can climb up and down a ladder with a brush, just using an extension pole from the ground to reach 16ft. ceilings . I do it all the time.
Oh yeah? Well almost all walls are textured, try your $5 shure line on those vs the pros and see if you can get the same result like your perfectly texture -free wall!
@@melstead7937 First off I've never used this thing, I use an actual brush and my lines are straight that "tool" wasnt perfect in this video I used to be a painter so I notice the little things
It's a shame, but I see that you're using the pads badly. Surely you do a good job, but with the pads you have the wrong technique. That said without taking anything away from your good work. Here's how to use the pads properly. Painting by making an inverted U. Let me explain. FOR A WALL ADJACENT TO A CEILING: 1. Before going against the border, apply the pad on the wall far from the border, then slide it towards the border. It will make an inverted L.. 2. Glide the pad evenly with even pressure, you can go either way. 3. To remove the pad, slide it down. This will complete the inverted U. Remove by sliding and not directly as you do, because it produces peaks!!! TO SOAK PAINT WITH PAINT: Just immerse the hairs and rub the pad on the edge of the tray, it removes the excess and evens out the paint on the pad. TO REMOVE EXCESS PAINT ON CASTERS: Before repeating steps 1 to 3, rub the small rollers on a wall to be painted. It's a good precaution, because sometimes they get dirty. Wipe this part of the wall. Repeat steps 1 to 3 carefully. I am able to paint a very far wall with pads that fit long sleeves! FOR CORNERS (junction of 2 walls and a ceiling): We have no choice but to use the brush, which is the only one going into the nooks and crannies. FOR ADJACENT WALLS PAINTED THE SAME COLOUR: Use a roller with one end "closed" completely hairy. Never again will I make borders with a brush, it's too long and risky.
1:25, very slowly?/////.... I can do that twice as FAST with a brush... STRAIGHT LINE... When you depend on and get paid by the job, slow it's Not an Option...
Thank you Dracula!

I have used the edge painter many times...and only now I learn to use a brush to load it up. Great tip!

that small gap is a problem.
I use a small roller and roll paint onto the SHURE cartridge
Going to use a brush to apply paint to the edger. Makes sense for less mess. Thanks for the video.
Great advice... I’ve absolutely been doing this wrong and I’m so glad to have found this video!!

HILARIOUS!! I honestly LOVED the narrator!!😂😂😂
Thank you man. This is really great.

Hope this helps your painting project
Yup thing works like a charm load with brush and don’t press down it
I love your voice and your accent! This is great. I'm doing this today
The results are great! Thanks for the tips
Became a subscriber because of this helpful video.
Fantastic job color and accent. :)
So I've done it wrong and used the tray so much so the paint got up onto the white skirting.
They work good in most situations. However when cutting near trim the rollers don't always roll on the edge of the trim tapers to a thin edge.
Ever thought of putting a paint shield along the top portion of the trim so the rollers would have a base to roll?
Wait a minute! I just now learned to apply the paint with a brush.
That's the trick...
How would the results come to being used on a orange peel textured wall ?

I bought Sherwin Williams paint but the quality is not that good. Which SW paint type is the best ?
SW is usually pretty good. I've been having good result using SuperPaint
Dose it leave a dry line?
Hi do you know what the other color is for the other walls? Not the blue
The base color is from Benjamin Moore, it's called Grant Beige, color code is HC-83
Ray Romano Dracula forgot to comb the paint so it blends in better when you roll it.
LOL...
I was not able to do it.My tool had no rollers on it..
Get the one with rollers from Amazon or Home depot
Great results! I’m a pro and I’m gonna get one and see how it goes. Cheers

I can free hand faster...but this was a good use of that tool
Does work if there popcorn celing?
Indeed, the ceiling I have in the video is popcorn ceiling. However, mine has a flat border on the ceiling. If the popcorn is right at the edge, it won't work.
I like to color,what is it called if u remember pls?
Sherwin Williams SW 7605 Gale Force
Great job! How did you run this along the baseboard? I tried it and I got paint all over my baseboard. Not sure what I'm doing wrong.
Baseboard is no difference... Make sure when you brush the paint onto the tool, don't brush it too close to the edge. You may also need to use paper towel to clean the wheel on the tool. Hope that helps..
@@DIYable Use a paint shield or guide along with the edger for the baseboard.
What is the name of the base color wall? I want to do that same color scheme .
OOh.. the base color is from Benjamin Moore, it's called Grant Beige, color code is HC-83
DIYable Love BM. Great paint; you get what u pay for
is it okay to paint same color on textured wall?
I don't think this tool would work on textured wall unfortunately
Yogi Bear now doing voice overs.Clasic l
How many coats of paint did you put on the wall?
If you are referring to the whole wall using the roller, I applied 2 coats. Always apply 2 coats because one isn't good enough.
Always go over the first coat again real quick, so you can call it a second coat. lol I've painted some houses , that almost needed 4 coats to cover the original color, usually when your using yellows, they don't cover to good.
How did your edge that baseboard ! Anybody can edge a ceiling or wall corner. How does this perform on baseboards
Chocolate rain !!
LOL
This qas amazing ty
How did you paint the corners ?
Corners? Just overlap by running tool horizontally and then vertically
Amazing
gorilla platform ladder is a must.
I apply the paint with a squeeze bottle... faster and easier and no need to go back to the paint can...
YES!
I bought that a few yrs ago and I needed to touch up paint and needed to get close up to the edge but this scuffed up the wall. It left hugh scratch marks in the old paint. I immediately stop using it and had to sand the wall down but it was basically useless for me
