What happens here

Before applying any masking, it's vital to thoroughly dust all surfaces. Using a duster brush (or an old, clean paint brush), carefully clean the tops of all baseboards and the floor area immediately adjacent to the baseboards where the masking tape will be applied. This step ensures optimal adhesion of the tape and prevents any paint bleed underneath the masking. While a duster brush is sufficient, a shop vacuum can also be used to remove any loose dust or debris for an even cleaner surface.

Goal: Ensure surfaces are clean for proper tape adhesion.

so let's get moving on to the project mckenna so the first process we want to start with mckenna is the dusting and i want to just walk around and i want to dust the tops of my baseboards and i want to dust the floor along where the masking is gonna go if you don't dust the floor the masking is not going to stick very well and then you'll also get paint bleed underneath your masking because you won't get a good good adhesion but the tops of the baseboards they didn't do a very good job caulking the tops of them so we're gonna dust the tops of the baseboards and recaulk some of those and then also dusting the floor so just we're just gonna walk around and quickly dust the tops of this stuff and you can just work right along right there and you want to dust it really well and then you can take a shot back and shot back that up but everything's gonna get all dirty anyways because we're painting so we'll just work on this dusting process get it really clean and then we'll move on to the next step all right we got all of our floors dusted now I'm agin it I'm gonna teach
