So, the next step in the process after I've painted my trim is I'm actually going to paint my ceilings. And in order to paint the ceilings, you might get a little bit of splatter coming down. So, I like my trim or actually my baseboards, which is part of the trim to be dry enough that I could mask onto it. And I'll run an inch and a half masking. Or if you only got one in, just use one inch. That'll be fine. And what that does is when you're rolling your walls, if you get any splatter coming down, if it lands on top of your baseboards, then it'll just leave that speckling down there. So, just run tape along the top of your baseboards and then begin rolling your ceilings. And then after the ceilings are dry, then we'll begin doing our walls. But when you do your ceilings, you want to take your ceilings down just about an eighth of an inch to a/ an inch onto your wall cuz then when you roll your walls, you're going to be cutting in your ceiling lines.
