    I have mixed it but that's worth considering. I'm get a small roller and see if that helps.

    Yeah mate you should alwats roll what youve cut in e8th a small roller, i do it as i go otherwise you get different texture and with certain paints and it certain lights it shows up bad,
    Just give tge dsrk looking bit a light stroke over with sandpaper get rid of the brushmarks/texture then go close as ya can to the ceiling with a small roller, might need 2 gos to look the same

    I usually can get quite close with the big roller so wouldn't normally use a small roller. My roller is well used and an inch and a half at the end has gone hard and couldn't get so close this time when doing my daughter's room.
    She was adamant I hadn't painted just under the top skirting board (she calls the coving this <laugh>) so I explained the brush strokes will refract the light differently to a roller. Still had to go around with the mini roller to keep her happy.

    mine was done recently and for the first time in years was fine in fact bordering on a bit low .
    Think mine might be down to a bit of a change in diet though who knows .

    You can get away with it sometimes like but as a rule i take a small roller round with me when im cutting in, its a good habit to have as there's nothing worse than doing all the cutting in and it looking like luvs done it<whistle>

    It's probably designed to go off if the internal battery is low. I only know because I knew someone whose mains operated one wouldn't shut up, even if the power was killed to it, can't remember what I did, probably the same as you and got a new one. <laugh>

    It's just **** modern paint mate. Always done my own decorating, even decorated for others too and never had this problem until recent years. Another coat would clear it up, basically not consistent / equal level of paint between the two areas.

    Oh, and I've never rolled d the edges either, always just use a brush.
