What happens here

With the prepared length of tape, position the leading edge of the tape against the wall or baseboard at your desired straight line. As you move along the surface, continuously pull the tape tight, stretching it out. This tension is crucial for preventing the tape from sagging or curving. Manipulate the tape with your hands to adjust its position, moving it away or closer to the line as needed, while maintaining consistent tension.

Goal: Accurately align and apply tension to the tape along the desired line.

You know, back and forth, I'm going to get it up against my wall. And then this trailing hand is going to press it down. I'm pulling my asshole tight. So I don't want it to be loose. I'm going to stretch it out. I'm going to pull it tight, manipulate it up against the wall. I need to go away. I'll go away if I need to get closer, I'll go closer and just pull in it. I'm pulling it with your tight, stretch it out, pull it tight and you pull your masking tight. You know, straight now but you don't want to do short runs, I don't want to do short runs like this. I'm going to do longer runs, longer run, straighter mine will happen.
