Description

Darker color appear where ceilings, windows, doors, and corners were cut-in with a brush.

 

 

 

 

Probable Cause

• Improper cutting-in technique using a brush with too much paint and not doing feather-edge brushing

• Not maintaining a wet edge by cutting-in too large an area at one time

• Poor roller technique, leaving a wide pace between the natural break and the wall

Solutions

• Keep a wet edge and use a feather brush cutting-in technique

• Roll into the cut-in areas before they're dry and as close as possible to the natural break
  
  Especially critical when temperatures are above 90 F
  
  Stir periodically to avoid paint thickening

Primers & Interior Finishes

• Priming is essential for stronger adhesion, sheen uniformity, mildew control, and durability.

• Select a top quality California Paints interior paint in the color and sheen of your choice.
