Default Need tips: How to Cut-in a nice edge on knock-down

Jean wrote:
I'm reapinting the inside of my house, and all the walls and ceilings
are textured in the classic "knock down" style. I've tried a couple
methods of cutting in the edges (ie, I tried using a brush and an
edging guide, and I tried an edging pad.), but nothing is really
giving me a nice clean edge. Does anyone have any tips?


I use something - chisel, usually - to physically cut in a line through
the texture at the top of the wall. Paint over that line with the
ceiling paint, up to it with the wall color.
