Score and snap knife and my trusty old fibro cutters
Use a score and snap knife in conjunction with a straight edge
Fibro cutters look old school but they are fast and easy to use
Wet saws are the only safe way to cut thicker materials

Prep was done by spraying with exterior surface cleaner then a wash-down with telescopic, hose-connected brush.
A 'delta' head fitted to a multi-tool is ideal for sanding timber trim and fiddly spots.
The easy way to get stubborn lids off plastic paint buckets! A knee firmly in the centre and peel one edge of the lid back.
Use a small brush to get into all corners and cracks before rolling but don’t do too many areas at once otherwise the brush-work will dry, and then show, before you can roll it smooth.
For longer areas set-up a plank (you can hire them) rather than constantly moving and climbing ladders. Note – this plank was 5m but it can only be used at a maximum span of 3m so I added a small step ladder as centre support.
For textured or contoured exterior surfaces use a long nap roller sleeve, nap is/are the filaments on the roller. This one was 15mm nap. Longer nap will work well on contours.
Use a smaller roller, here 100mm, for edges. This was a long nap too and you can see it conforming to the shape of the weatherboard. And don’t forget to use making tape where needed. It’s faster to mask than to fiddle around painting edges.
Do any gap sealing AFTER your first coat of undercoat or paint. You’ll find it much easier to see the gaps.
If you need to be using your gap sealer over an extended time and it’s a water-based product then put it in the shade with a damp cloth loosely wrapped around the nozzle when not in use.
Done! Well... the front at least ;)
