When you have to paint around trim on interior doors, and especially in
tight corners where the wall is all but hidden behind the trim - do you
remove the trim before painting or just get in there and paint around the
trim, maybe tape it off or something if its real tight?

No, that's redicarus.
Get a high quality angled 2" sash brush for latex (assume) - Purdy/Wooster.
About $10. Last forever if you take care of it. You'll learn to use it and
do magic eventually.

Hey, Al, you ever tried those Yurpeen-style paintbrushes? Someone I know
has a couple: they're round affairs, like a big shaving brush, and taper
to a point. Supposedly, they're just perfect for doing any kind of
finish work, cutting in trim, etc.
I agree, Purdy brushes rule. I've got one I've had for more than 25
years now (bristle for oil & varhish).

Never heard of it. If I had seen it I probably would have thought it was
for that fux stuff or something else la-de-da. Anyway, since I'm in the
U.S., I guess it wouldn't work here. You know, like all those chemical
products that cause cancer in Calif. Glad I can safely use them in this
state :-)

I only switched to purdy after I started on my second house, how I
regret not using them on my first.
