What happens here

After the paint has dried sufficiently, carefully remove the masking paper and tape. Begin by gently peeling the masking material away from the painted surface at a 45-degree angle. This technique, shown in the video as a 'clean release,' helps to prevent the fresh paint from tearing or lifting, ensuring a crisp, 'no bleed' line. The video highlights the clean and sharp edge achieved, demonstrating the effectiveness of the masking technique.

Goal: Uncover the freshly painted baseboard with clean, bleed-free edges.
