What happens here

To achieve the best results, ensure the entire section of the wall you are working on remains saturated with paint. This allows the paint to dry evenly and 'gel together,' preventing the formation of lap marks or streaking. The goal is to keep your trailing edge (the wet edge) completely wet throughout the painting process.

Goal: Achieve a uniformly dry, mark-free painted wall surface.

What they say

Hide

time I'm loading this nap, running down this wall, keeping the nap saturated, And that's what keeping a wet edge is. If you don't keep a wet edge and keep your edge, your trailing edge completely saturated, the paint won't flow together, won't gel out, and you'll actually get lap marks or stripe marks up and down your walls. So, it's important to keep a wet edge.
