What happens here

If you opted for the spray painting method, load your 3M hand masker with 9-inch masking paper and 1-inch tape. Begin applying the paper and tape combination along the base of the baseboard. After the hand masker has dispensed the materials, use your fingers to carefully tuck the 1-inch tape and the leading edge of the 9-inch paper underneath the baseboard and into the carpet pile. Ensure the tape is pressed tightly against the baseboard, with about 1/8 to 1/4 inch of the tape and paper tucked beneath, to create a secure barrier against overspray.

  • 1-inch Tape — Securing the paper and creating a sharp paint line
  • 3M Hand Masker 3M — Applying masking paper and tape simultaneously
