How do you keep the painted line straight at the top of the wall next to the
ceiling?

Masking with tape doesn't work for me. Using a shield looked like crap.
Cutting in freehand with a brush is the best I can do and it still looks
bad.

Any tricks?



Professional painters and decorators will tell you that the line is
much more important than the overlap. Most people worry so much about
the overlap that they don't concentrate on the line. For wall to
ceiling stay about 1/8" below the ceiling and just pull a wet,
straight line. You will never "see" the 1/8"

Purdy or Woosters, or equal if you believe there is one, best trim
brush. Expensive but worth it.
