How to control overspray! #howto #tipsandtricks #handyman #DIY #painter

Today I got a handy tip for you and it's how to keep your overspray from running down your walls when you're spraying your trim if you've already painted your walls. What we would be doing is we'd be masking around this entire window and I'd be masking with just 9 in paper in my production tape. So I have this paper here. Now in order to keep the overspray from running down the wall, I'm just going to take pre fold my paper over and crease it. And then I'm going to tack that down in three places. I'd be doing this around the entire window. So I'll tack it just like this where I've creased it one more place right here. Now when you're spraying this trim right here, this would be all around the entire window. I'd be spraying here and this flap right here is going to cause the overspray to come out and to kick out and it won't run down the wall. This is a simple method. If you've already painted your walls and you missed this window or for instance, for some reason you've had to spray this window later on after the walls are done and you don't get overspray on your walls. Very simple, handy tip.
