What happens here

After painting the baseboards (using a paint sprayer or brush), it is critical to remove the masking paper and tape immediately while the paint is still wet. The Frog Tape is designed to keep the paper stiff enough to prevent it from getting soggy and tearing during removal. Pulling the tape while the paint is wet ensures clean lines and prevents the paint from peeling off or drying onto the tape, which can cause damage to the newly painted baseboard or the flooring. If any minor bleeding does occur, clean it off promptly before the paint dries.

Goal: Paint the baseboards and remove masking before paint dries.

Tools and materials

  • Masking paper with Frog Tape N/ABeing removed from the baseboard and floor

What they say

Hide

That way it will come out really easy. The frog tape keeps the paper, you know, keeps it stiff enough, because the paper will get really soggy, you know, from trying to pull it out, and you're like, hey, you're coming from the baseboards, you're going to pull it out immediately. I want to make sure I pull it out on what's wet, and make sure there's anything I need to clean out, but there wasn't any bleeding. But this method works out pretty good.
