Apply Masking Tape to Baseboards

and this could be masking with tape just gonna get this tape really up close to my trim as close as I can and then I'm going to tuck it with my two edge knife somebody can get that up against a trim we're going to come around not painting the corner the this I'm not painting this part of the wall but I do want to get masking over here because we don't want to get any grips or squares on this part of the wall either the corners I want to tuck masking underneath those Corners don't want to get anything underneath there what I like to do once I get my masking down I'm going to take my five in one I'm going to lightly run it along the edge get a really good seal on that tape I'm gonna tuck it in my Corners because I cut it with a knife make sure you have a sharp blade on your knife cut that way you can get a nice good clean corner I'm outside and now I'm going to continue moving on so one of the interesting things about this job is is the trim is currently white we're going to be painting the trim ceiling and walls all the dark color so I'm going to be painting the trim with the same product I'm using on the walls it's going to be a matte finish the customer wants this entire room to be matte and the dark color all the way around the room so I'm going to continue masking here try to get that if there's any Gap underneath your trim and the hardwood floor try to get your tape topped underneath there I like to pull about a 12 to 18 inches of tape stretch it just get it up underneath get it up against get it up against this quarter round and probably about a 16th of an inch touching it down I'll eventually press it down with if you get any spots that um get kinked or anything just take and touch it up with a piece of tape for the top of my corner lightly I'm just going to run two edge knife we barely have to just run it down to get it to tuck and to actually get it to press and seal like running it on the rounded or the beveled edge of my two inch knife popping it down you don't want it touching the white because if you peel off this tape if it's touching the white anywhere you're going to see white because this color is really dark and you'll just see you know whatever you've got onto the white when you pull that tape off so make sure no white is exposed get back trim my corner make sure your knife is nice and sharp when you're trimming your tank if your knife is dull at all it'd be really hard to trim your tape a nice 90 degree Corners if I took out
