I was painting my kitchen cabinets wrong for a solid month

I was brushing on a water-based enamel, getting super frustrated with the brush marks and slow dry time. My neighbor, who used to paint houses, saw me working and said, 'You're using the wrong brush and not thinning that paint at all, are you?' He was right. I switched to a good quality angled brush and added just a little water to the paint, like he showed me. The next coat went on smooth and dried way faster. Anyone else have a simple tip that fixed a big painting headache?

Tbh a painter told me rollers give way less brush marks than any brush.

Wait really? I always thought brushes were the way to go for a smooth finish lol. That actually makes a lot of sense now.
