13. I don't think it will be very noticable overall

when I want to touch up around the ceiling I often use one of those little skinny paint brushes like the ones that come in children's water paint sets. I think you can buy a big pack of them for $1 at a dollar store. That way I can straighten out the line without getting any on the ceiling or it ends up being an enless circle......touch up the wall, touch up the ceiling, touch up the wall etc. But overall once your room is all done and everything back in place I think your husband may be right and it won't be a glaring issue. Good luck with the painting!

Don't use tape. The texture on the wall or ceiling prevents it from lying flat. mbperrin Mar 2012 #7
