I have not yet tried it. I am also slow to adopt new tools. I have used the paint pad for nearly 15 years, the brush and roller longer, and airless sprayers past the point of tendonitis. The airless is fast, but not if there is massive amounts of masking to do. If you try the pad, get the Padco red handled 8 inch shake painter. The other brands are not as good.

Actually, in the full commercial video, I cut in sharply next to the vanity. What allows me to do this is the fact that the vanity trim is smooth (an not porous). I can remove any small amount of residue with a clean damp rag if I need to. This part of the technique can require a little practice. You can still slip with the brush if you get in too much of a hurry, and have to use a damp rag anyway. I appreciate your questions, and feedback. Take care.

have you tried the Accubrush yet for cutting? i saw a video of it on here somewhere. ive tried all the gimmick stuff in the past but the accubrush i saw on here looked like it might actually have potential. i may get one just to give it a fair chance. the fastest way to paint walls is to use my $5000.00 sprayer lol. i’ll try your pad idea one day before i knock it though.

Too many clowns, the drops go down. The same clown could dump over a bucket near the edge of a drop, too. Pad brushed walls look fine in many cases, so that depends. And, I agree with you about high contrast situations, use a brush or tape, etc. Use what ever tool is most efficient and cost effective for the particular job. The pad is just another tool.

what if some clown comes in and accidentally falls over your bucket and u have a few gallons of paint on the carpet and no drop cloth? ive seen it happen.who wants a pad brushed wall? the roller gives a subtle texture look on the wall the way its supposed to be. there s no way that thing could make a perfect cut with dark colors next to a white ceiling.

The paint flows off of the pad like a wide brush. There are rollers, brushes, airless paint sprayers, HVLP guns, and paint pads. All of these are tools for painters. If you scoff at painting with pads, you will be like all the people that scoffed at the roller. The roller was thought a toy by many old timers. If you don’t learn to use the pad, you will be wasting time and money on jobs where the pad works best.. Those who experiment are the ones that learn new things.

The pad wont splatter because no spinning motion. If the user puts paint on the pad and slings it around, or is careless, it will make a mess. The full how-to DVD, the video clip represents, goes more in depth into this. Tape can be eliminated for much of painting. Still, sometimes tape is needed, but far less often–this can save significant time and supplies. It takes a little courage in the beginning to not use drops, but in the end, you may see the drops as a false sense of security. Tim V.

I don’t understand. Why doenst the pad drip? Is it really true that you don’t need tape or cloth and plastic on the floor?
