Bill I have painted a lot of houses and I am the guy that does all the
trim and detail work.

Use as big of a brush that will fit. I used to use small brushes and
very quickly learned that they don't hold enough paint to do squat.

If you simply use the 3~4" brush in a side ways motion you end up with a
3/4~1" wide brush that is 3~4" thick.

But the keys imo for trim are twofold --

a) It _has_ to be a high-quality brush, and
b) It needs to be angle-cut, not straight.



Yes a good brush is essential.

It can be a straight brush, angle cut is better but certainly not necessary.

Straight cut will need to be cleaned a little more often if you are
doing a lot of cutting into corners.
