Cutting in ceiling to wall

[rsbhj]

Hi

I have a question about cutting in between ceiling and wall…I usually go for an angled brush and steady hand.

I also usually have very light airy colours so easier to work with white ceiling, this time round although not a dark colour it’s darker than my usual.

I’ve cutted in and was wondering could a line in chaulk be applied just the give that finish look?

Chaulk was already applied at the mist coat stage so would.

thanks

Shouldn't be any need to use caulk as a substitute for cutting in properly.

It’s not a substitute, I wondered if it would present a better finish as I am not fully happy with how it is just now, it’s not awful, just could look a little tider due to a darker colour than I’m used too

Unless there is an actual gap or crack, I personally wouldn't bother - but without seeing the place it's hard to make a good comment.

Can you send a photo?

Use a normal brush and don't use caulk unless the lines are messy. When doing the white ceiling you should go onto the wall a small amount, this then gives you something to cut in to with your wall colour! If the wall colour doesn't flow very well add a tiny amount of water to help the brush along.

Paint the ceiling the same colour
