TAPE all wall/woodwork seams with painter's tape. Lay the tape onto the
woodwork and press it into the caulk with the corner of your putty knife
to prevent the wall paint from bleeding behind the tape onto the
woodwork. (The caulk has to be dry at this point.) Let the tape stick
out perpendicular to the trim to act as a little protective roof to
catch paint drips.

TIP:
To speed up painting larger rooms, pour 1 or 2 gal. of paint into a
5-gal. bucket and use a roller screen instead of a roller tray.

CUT In one wall around woodwork, ceiling, inside corners and electrical
boxes with a 3-in. brush. With the cut-in paint still wet, roll that
wall with a 9-in. wide, 1/2-in. nap roller on a 9-in. roller frame. The
wet cut-in paint should blend with the rolled areas to prevent "picture
framing" or shadow lines at hand- painted/rolled junctions. Roll from
top to bottom, from right to left, keeping the unsupported side of the
roller frame pointing toward the left. Apply slightly heavier pressure
to the unsupported side of the roller to eliminate roller tracks.
