Default painting around door trim - inside painting

Al Bundy spake thus:

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?


do you remove the trim before painting


No, that's redicarus.


Or as Walt Kelly used to have his characters say, "redickledockle".

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).
