Masking straight lines with FrogTape. #frogtape #paintprep #painter #paintingwalls #interiorpainting

What happens here

While still pulling the tape tight with one hand (the leading hand), use your other hand (the trailing hand) to press the tape down firmly along the entire length. The video specifically shows using three fingers to apply consistent, strong pressure. This firm pressure seals the edges of the Frog Tape to the smooth surface, which is vital for preventing paint from bleeding underneath and achieving a perfectly crisp, straight paint line every time.

Goal: Firmly adhere the tape to the surface to create a crisp, bleed-free paint line.

What they say

Hide

I'm going to do longer runs, longer run, straighter mine will happen. This hand is pressing it down with three fingers, I'm pressing it down tightly, I frog tape when I press it down on a smooth surface tightly like that, I'll get perfectly straight behind it every time. Okay, get it down, rewind it, run with three fingers, press down.
