What happens here

The goal is to feel 'exactly where my fingers are' to avoid contact with any painted surface. This meticulous approach ensures a clean and unblemished finish around the doorknob, complementing the crisp lines achieved earlier.

good for good for your system, your body. The last thing I want to do is pull off that handle. And you really want that to be dry before you pull it off. And when I do that, I I don't like to have my gloves on when I pull off my handles because I want to know exactly where my fingers are so I don't touch the door. It's still a little bit tacky. Um, if you're really really careful, it's kind of like an art actually pulling the tape off the door. If you touch your door, then you're going to leave a fingerprint on it if it's not dry. But I've managed to do this now without touching it. There we go.
