You two are very sweet. Here are some resources and tips:
-I volunteer at a cat rescue that uses long-handled paintbrushes like this (https://www.amazon.com/Osborn-70900-Bristle-Radiator-Overall/dp/B00IMFMFCG) to get the cat comfortable with touch. In case the cat bites, she'll bite the paintbrush instead of you.

Good luck!
I'm a painter too. Strange that you don't have one of these.
I wrote up this big to-do about how I clean my records, and not sure many people saw it. Pasting it below because I think this hands-down, THE BEST way to clean records.
***
I've cleaned over a thousand of records with this. Highly recommend!!
http://cratedigging.co/13/9832/product_review__squeaky_clean_mark_iii_record_cleaning_machine
One pass to suck up loose dirt/dust
Second pass with distilled water + solution
Third pass distilled water only
Flip record and repeat
Solution is the same that the library of congress uses to clean their records. 20 drops per gallon. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B019YI38Z2/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_7WtMAbSQYZ36W
The included brush with the Mark III wears out quickly. Buy these at Home Depot and cut them in half. I use one for the solution, another for water.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00004Z4H2/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_MYtMAbMG8T3MW
Solution and water can be applied with these squeeze bottles. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01E0CZPNA/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_L2tMAbRS7PV87
This cleaning works fantastic for 99%of my records. I can clean a record in 3 minutes. For dirtier records I let them sit in the solution for 5-10 minutes. Stubborn dirt is spot treated with a soft toothbrush.
I put the whole shebang on a storage tub lid (upside down) so liquid that falls off collects in the plastic lid. And when it pools up from lots of cleaning, use a turkey baster to suck up the excess liquid. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00H9M6Q46/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_V.tMAbHB8KGDE

I hate painters tape, it never works for me. I've learned how to cut in with a paint brush. Go buy a nice high quality paintbrush with a rubber handle, feels better in the hand and imo is easier to control. Just bring a damp rag with you and wipe off any mistakes. Go slow and you'll be all set.
There's also the possibility that you're being overfly critical of your work. Bring someone else in, see if they notice.

Edger pro is a BS product aimed at DIYers, aka suckers for a gadget. Learn to cut in properly with a paintbrush instead.
If you needed to cut in your wall color to white ceilings, you'd need a ladder.
But in this case, the ceiling and walls are the same color. You don't need a ladder. Just get a proper paintbrush holder; every pro has one in their kit. 10 bucks instead of a couple hundred.
There's a slight learning curve, figuring out the exact angle to set it at - the angle pictured in the first image is about right for most uses.

Acid brushes dude. Cheap and disposable.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B006ZBD95Q/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_.8pbvb0YY8D8Z
use soapy water and a wire brustle brush/brush cleaner to brush out dried paint and rinse until water is clear https://www.amazon.com/WOOSTER-BRUSH-1831-Side-Painters/dp/B000LDLPC8/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=wooster+brush+cleaner&qid=1567717325&s=gateway&sr=8-1
For soldering preparation, I typically use alcohol with q-tips for cleaning the contacts, and alcohol with tissue for wiping the wires and the solder.
For clean-up, I use acid brushes with the bristles trimmed down to 1/4 to 1/2 in or so dipped in alcohol. It works absolute wonders and takes care of flux like nothing else. https://www.amazon.com/RAM-PRO-Flexible-Horsehair-Bristle-Tubular/dp/B01LXNQW9W/ref=mp_s_a_1_2_sspa?keywords=acid+brush&qid=1562073005&s=gateway&sr=8-2-spons&psc=1
Hmm...most useful things for $300. I would recommend Lowe's/Home Depot, but since you're limited to Amazon....
There's lots of other stuff, but my mind has drawn a blank right now.

Or, you know. YELLOW PAGES for actual painters where she IS.
Edit:formatting.
That bit about the blotting is the important part. IPA just dissolves the flux. If you don't physically remove it, the IPA evaporates, and the flux is still on the board.
You can coat emulsion without the rough-brushed look; I've had good results on canvas with these brushes, though canvas is somewhat forgiving. The classic way to coat your own photo papers is making a "puddle pusher" (a coating rod), which can be as simple as a glass rod with some tape on the ends, or a manufactured model. This gets tougher as the size goes up. Harbor Freight sells a self-contained HVLP rig for like $100, I may try one sometime.
There's tons and tons of info on the Photrio emulsion forum, too, esp, if you ever want to try making your own. I've used the Foma emulsion and it's killer, but it's fixed-grade, maybe about 3.5 contrast.
The China Bleaching, I did a couple small tests that weren't perfect, couldn't get much into, even when asking on Photrio and need to try it again sometime. Limited info out there, apparently it's covered in Rudman's Toning book, which goes for like $200 nowadays!

I use these brushes and these roller covers. Cheap and disposable. It's not worth the hassle of cleaning epoxy.
I second cutting in sans tape. Get one or two of these and you'll never have to tape again. I found them locally at Ace Hardware. For some reason the rubber handle lets your wrist stay incredibly steady.

I like those brushes because they’re cheap. You can trim them to whatever shape you need and toss them when you’re done. The cleaner is just IPA I think, but it will evaporate out and draw out a lot of moisture in he process. The spray bottle is nice, you can blast out a lot of FOD like that corrosion (before and after brushing) in the process.
Obvious safety would be a very well vented room away from flames, you’ll be spraying a flammable liquid. Be smart about it, read labels on whatever you buy.
Don’t get rough on anything, those pins WILL break if you do. Brush it like you would your kindergartener’s teeth: to clean not scrub with some knuckle.
Depending on your climate, you could do any number of things to make an oven, it just needs to be “warm” by oven standards. I went to YouTube and found more crap than good material... not much help on there. It’s made to go in a car, so keep that in mind.
In Texas it gets plenty warm enough, just keep it out of direct sunlight and park in the sun all day with the sunroof cracked.
Good question, and it pains me a bit that I have a small box of unused tools that were purchased when I began. I'm sure I missed a few things, but here you go:
If links weren't provided then I already had the item.
I'M IN :D And I've already got ideas c: Gonna start on this c:

Something that is grey.An item that is less than a dollar, including shipping... that is not jewelry, nail polish, and or hair related!A movie everyone should watch at least once in their life. Why?I'll come back with the three I missed c:

Also adding one of the bonuses! Purdy paintbrushes are made in Oregon c: They've been made in Portland since 1925! c:
These: http://www.amazon.com/Shur-Line-01500C-Handi-Painter/dp/B00004Z4H2
They sell them in tons of different shapes and sizes, but they are all sorta the same thing. It's a foam base with fuzzyness to it.
A wad of wool works really well too, like a polishing pad for your car.
I would suggest practicing on a piece of scrap wood if you do want to add color. I think it look lovely as is though!
As for the finish, I use this:
Minwax 64444444 Polycrylic Protective Finish Water Based, quart, Semi-Gloss https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000PRNXNY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_sYPDDbDE4ZEJT
With this brush:
Minwax 427320008 Manway Polycyclic 2" Trim-Polyester/Nylon Blend Brush/Roller/Applicator, 2 inch, White https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01LBFR8T8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_9ZPDDbCF4N6BQ
I haven't used that so I cant really comment.
Are you sure you aren't over thinking it? It may just need a bit of manual brushing action with some acid brushes like these: link. If you wanted a "set it and forget it", maybe an ultrasonic cleaning tank with one of the solvents mentioned in this thread or a light soap even.
Superglue doesn't work very well. Loctite 404 is the best I've found of the cyanoacrylates, but it tops out at "okay," unless you're willing to put in a lot of surface prep.
ABS glue works great, though it can be a pain to use. You want to make your own: get some acetone and some ABS. Undyed pellets are best, like this: https://www.amazon.com/IC3D-Printer-Plastic-Pellets-Natural/dp/B00MG5PF5M/ , though you should be able to find cheaper. Put some pellets in a small jar, and add acetone. You're probably looking to end up around 2 parts acetone to 1 part pellets by volume, but you can adjust it pretty far either way. Mix them together through a combination of stirring and shaking. This will take a while, and you'll probably need to let them soak periodically. They won't dissolve all the way without mixing, and they wont mix without soaking, so it's just going to take a while. Eventually though, you'll have a good that you can brush or squirt onto PLA to make it stick together. I mostly use mine with an industrial syringe, with a pin in the needle to keep a channel open. It's easy to dispense, and fairly convenient. For large applications or for painting onto a bed, I use acid brushes.

You can also weld pieces together with a dremel. This is a very good join for large pieces, especially with straight seams, but can be rough for detail work. There's a description here: http://www.scorchworks.com/Blog/friction-welding-with-a-dremel-rotary-tool/
> 1- is it true any automotive grease will do?
Yes
> 2- can I use the grease from the grease gun to grease the hitch ball?
Yes. Expect a mess. Like with most lubrication jobs, when you think you applied too much, you're probably just short of almost enough.
3- on the picture I attached I’m not sure what they mean by inner and outer ball bearing. I don’t think I can get far there with just a brush.
Get yourself an acid brush and start playing Picasso.
Thin it just a bit... and use a “chip” brush... longer bristles and dirt cheap...

Can find them at practically any hardware store, some sells them individually.
Or just use your fingers, it'll clean right off with some dawn.
I just put a dab of grease in an old (clean) tuna can and work from that.
This. And when I do intricate things, I use an acid brush.
If you’re going to hang around /r/politics, it might be time to invest in a bigger one.
I would say something like this: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Harris-13190-Platinum-Brush-Pack/dp/B003G2APRC
​
Just make sure you don't get anything with metal or hard plastic bristles.
>1. Get a small, angle-cut "sash" brush.
Copied & pasted my reply to another comment here: A brush that I would highly recommend is the Wooster Shortcut Angle Sash Paintbrush, 2-Inch They're very inexpensive but in my experience are very good quality brushes. I've used it recently for painting throughout my house and it makes cutting into edges along the ceiling a breeze. It has a flexible handle that makes gripping it at weird angles easy and good quality bristles that really make it tricky to spot where the brush was used vs. a roller. Another bonus, they're small enough to fit inside a ziplock bags to store when you want to hit a stopping point for the day and come back later to finish painting without cleaning the brush!
Paint brush comb for around $9 or $10 is the way to go for brushes. Just be smart, and only brush in one direction (I shouldnt need to say this, but I will just to be safe)

An extension + a stick should be cheaper than fancy ladders.

You may want at least 1 new one. You may be able to get life back into those old brushes with mineral spirits but I've never had much luck reviving them to a point where I am confident about the outcome. I would pick up something like this- http://www.amazon.com/Pro-Extra-2-1-Angular-Glide-Brush/dp/B000BQYH3O/ref=sr_1_1?s=hi&ie=UTF8&qid=1413396508&sr=1-1&keywords=paint+brushes and take good care of it. That said, if these are the tools they are providing, then a perfect job might not be what they care about. Try cleaning them and see how they work before buying something that isn't necessary. You might find they work well enough for the task at hand.
