What happens here

Once the trim is completely painted, immediately and carefully pull off the FrogTape while the paint is still wet. This step is critical to prevent 'bridging,' where dry paint forms a film over the tape, causing it to peel unevenly and ruin the clean line. By removing the tape while the paint is wet, you ensure a crisp, laser-straight separation between the painted trim and the window glass. The presenter notes how the similar color of the paint to the window frame helps blend any minor imperfections, but the technique aims for perfection.

Goal: Carefully pull off the FrogTape immediately after painting, before the paint dries, to reveal a sharp, clean painted line.
