that steady. When trying that in the past, I haven't been successful at
keeping the paint from crossing over the joint and, frankly, don't see
quite how to do it. Certainly not with a roller. With a brush I must be
unable to control the flair of the bristles that finely.
Practice.

Or buy one of these tools:

I've been using them for nearly 20 years, and they are invaluable.
Available at your local hardware store!

I'm embarrassed to say that I used one *with* the tape. The reason is
that I assumed it would be impossible to keep the wheels themselves
clean while loading the pad, and they would wind up leaving tracks on
the ceiling. That's because of the excess paint mentioned on the page
you cited. It gives a great tip about not starting at the edge! That
would have made a big difference.
