Hi, Slowpoke I like a good brush for all my cut-in work; it gets about the same amount of paint on the wall as the roller. If your roller has enough nap, you can reduce your inside corner cutting to just about nothing. BTW, a good brush is one that has a brand name, costs more than a DIY'er special, and has never been cleaned by anyone else. When anyone else cleans one of my good brushes, they're just regular brushes after that. I'm not saying that no one but me knows how to clean a brush right, but the people who do use their own brushes. The way to get a roller cover completely clean is to leave it on the roller handle, hold it vertical, and spray up and down the edge of it with the hardest spray you can get from your hose nozzle. It's good to get something between yourself and the roller. A 5 gallon bucket works well because you can clean the roller in it (still holding it vertical with the handle outside the bucket) and catch the most paint filled spray. You can afford to buy good roller covers when they last for a dozen or more painting jobs. All the best, Stan
