Easy painting and cutting ideas?

Anyone know an easy and neat way of cutting in wall emulsion at the edg



where it joins the ceiling?



My hand aint as steady as it should be!



And 'no' I am not employing a pro and 'yes' I have been pulling clean, good quality brush

I rest my little finger on the wall to steady my hand, and use a two inch brush loaded with a fair amount of paint.

I use me trusty plaster trowel at an angle shoved into the corner of the ceiling and then I get a nice straight line of paint. Or a steel ruler will suffice. :-)

Get a brush with the longest bristles that you can find. Put on a good amount of paint, and draw it out, finally finishing the line.

make a fillet of caulk there first, and then get something to steady the hand on up there

OTOH I have had sucess just pushing the brush up the wall till the tip hits the ceiling..

Or you can mask the join with masking tape.
