What happens here

Using a paint brush, apply paint to the trim area that is now bordered by the FrogTape. It's crucial to use a light touch and avoid pressing the brush too hard against the tape, as this can force paint underneath and compromise the clean line. Apply a generous, heavy coat of paint to ensure full coverage and avoid the need for multiple coats. Ensure all 'miss spots' are covered. The presenter recommends using an interior paint brush, specifically mentioning a Premier Hampton brush, for this technique. The paint is a self-priming type, meaning it adheres well.

Goal: Brush paint onto the trim area next to the FrogTape with light, even strokes, ensuring good coverage without forcing paint under the tape.

as usual and the paint will bond the paint i'm using will bond and stick to that so it's classified as a self priming coating but we really know that there is no such thing as self-priming paints but now what i'm going to do is i'm going to brush paint on this and i don't want to brush really hard or i don't want to roll really hard because you'll be pressing the paint you know up against the tape and you could force it underneath the tape so i'm going to be very careful just be light-handed and just brush a nice heavy coat on this and i want it heavy enough that i don't have to come back and put another coat on here and i want to make sure i get it all the way out on my window so i don't have any missed spots and you'll end up seeing how this will correct the situation make it look a lot better now this isn't ideal but i didn't create the situation but this is a way that you can make it look significantly better so i'm just using light touches it's good to use like an interior brush like a premier hampton when doing this technique i've been painting in here using this riverdale which is a little bit stiff but it's you know working with this paint because this is a extremely thick paint now the next step once i get this painted is to not let your paint dry or your caulking dry if you were doing it on a bumpy surface if i was using the clear caulking i'd want to put that clear caulking on quickly
