20 Years Worth of Painting Hacks! Every Painting Hack The Idaho Painter knows!

What happens here

To prevent paint overspray from landing on ceiling fan blades, which can be difficult to clean, use a hand-masker with paper and Frog Tape. First, switch out the standard painter's tape on your hand-masker for Frog Tape, as it is less likely to damage painted surfaces. Then, dispense enough paper to cover one fan blade, attach it to the blade with Frog Tape, and secure it. Repeat for all blades. This protects the blades from paint and saves time on cleaning.

Goal: Protect ceiling fan blades from paint overspray.

Tools and materials

  • Hand-masker — Dispensing paper and applying tape
  • Ladder — Reaching the ceiling fan
  • Frog Tape FrogTape — Securing the paper to the fan blades
  • Paper — Covering the fan blades
