Create a Stipple Catcher

What happens here

The presenter demonstrates creating a 'stipple catcher' by applying a strip of painter's tape along the edge of the surface to be protected (e.g., shower tiles), then using a masking tool to attach a sheet of masking paper to the tape. The paper is then 'tacked' underneath with smaller pieces of tape at intervals to create a raised barrier. This catches any paint stipple or splatter that might come off a roller, especially when painting walls in tight spaces like a bathroom. He notes that high-end rollers and paints typically reduce stippling, but this hack provides extra protection.

Goal: Learn to use a masking tool to create a protective barrier (stipple catcher) with tape and paper, preventing paint splatter onto adjacent surfaces like tiles when rolling walls.
