Apply Painter's Tape

What happens here

The user begins by carefully unrolling blue painter's tape (commonly known as ScotchBlue or FrogTape) along the junction where the baseboard or wall meets the carpet. The tape is strategically positioned so that it sits just under the edge of the baseboard, gently covering the very first fibers of the carpet. This creates a precise barrier to protect the carpet from paint. The tape is laid out segment by segment, ensuring it follows the straight line of the trim.

Goal: Create a clean barrier between the baseboard and the carpet.
