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).



Yurpeen-style paintbrushes?

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 :-)

That's good news. My 3 are is only 16. Still got another decade on them.
