Airless Spraying Tips. Masking around pipes to spray and control overspray.

What happens here

After applying the main masking, the painter secures the paper to prevent it from whipping back onto the house due to wind or the force of the sprayer. For hard-to-stick areas like old fences and roofs, he suggests using high-production orange tape, and specifically recommends 1.5-inch tape for better adhesion in these challenging spots compared to standard 1-inch tape.

Goal: Ensure masking paper stays in place during spraying by tacking it down, especially on hard-to-stick surfaces, using appropriate tape sizes to prevent flapping.
