all right tip number one is part of the prep process and when you're applying a metallic finish i'm going to be going over the edges and the way we apply this metallic finish i use a microfiber roller and i'm going to be jamming this roller up against my tape to uh do my finish along my edges i'm not going to be using a brush anywhere when i'm using metallic finishes so it's really critical when i'm hitting that tape with my metallic coating that i'm using a tape that's not going to allow the product to bleed underneath it and the only tape that you can use that will give you success when it comes to that is frog tape so i've got to up on my ceilings on my edges where i've started doing my coding i use frog tape and there's different frog tapes you can use that have the same technology and it's a polymer that swells up on the edge of the tape that doesn't allow any liquid to bleed underneath frog tape has a professional-grade blue tape right here they also have a green tape which is a little more expensive and then they also have a yellow tape which is um for delicate surfaces so just choose the right tape for the right situation i'm using frog tape blue and i'm running two um i got inch and a half tape i'm running two rows of it so i don't get anything on my adjoining surface and i'm not gonna get anything bleeding underneath it when i pull my tape it's gonna be a laser straight line so use frog tape on your edges all right tip
