What happens here

After assessing the existing paint bleed, take masking tape and apply it along the edge of the wood trim. Start on a door frame, carefully laying the tape so it extends about 1/16 of an inch to 1/8 of an inch onto the wood trim, covering the old, bled-through paint. Ensure the tape forms a straight, consistent line. Repeat this process for all affected wood trim, including baseboards, maintaining the same consistent distance onto the wood for a uniform look. Straighten any crooked lines by carefully adjusting or reapplying the tape.

Goal: Create a straight and consistent masking line on wood trim

I'm going to take this masking. I'm going to start on this door and I'm going to take and decide how far out their bleeding is. And then I'm going to start masking that far out. And hopefully their bleeding only goes out, you know, about a 16th of an inch or an eighth of an inch at most. So I'm going to run my masking a nice good clean line. And if it goes onto the wood trim work very far, it's going to look a lot better if it's a nice crisp line with the new paint versus our new paint. and their old paint all over the wood trim work. So, I'm going to run line. I'm going to keep the a consistent same distance all the way down. And then if the bleeding's on the p base too, I'm going to just do the same thing with the baseboards. I want to mask the baseboards out about this one is about 16th of an inch or so. And I need to straighten my lines up. Just straighten them up with some tape.
