What happens here
Using FrogTape, meticulously apply it around all trim areas, including baseboards, door jams, and window trim. The key is to apply the tape precisely along the edge of the trim, ensuring it adheres only to the wood surface and not onto the wall. This prevents paint from bleeding under the tape onto the trim and also keeps the paint from getting onto a textured wall, where it would be harder to get a clean line. Pull about a foot of tape at a time and press it down firmly with your fingers to ensure a tight seal and straight line.
Goal: Carefully apply high-quality painter's tape, like FrogTape, along all baseboards, door frames, and window trim to create precise, clean paint lines.
