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

What happens here

After folding and creasing the masking paper to create a flap, use smaller pieces of production tape to tack down this flap at regular intervals along the trim (e.g., at the top, middle, and bottom of the window side). This will prevent the paper from falling back against the wall or collapsing, ensuring the flap remains open and rigid enough to effectively catch paint overspray.

Goal: Use additional pieces of production tape to tack down the folded and creased paper flap, ensuring it remains stable and upright.

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.
