Pros tape? I don't tape. No trim paint on walls. No wall paint on trim.
None.
After caulking I do trim. Runs onto wall some. Feather out. Then do
walls. Use 2" Wooster or Purdy angled sash brush. Run bead down about
1/4" away from trim. Then do where wall meets trim line. Steady single
long strokes. Runing the first bead keeps the wall from from sucking all
the paint off the brush for the final corner line.
Feather out all wall paint to prevent boardering. Roll walls.
Secret? If there is one it's try different things. Then do what works
best for you. If it's taping, then so be it.
