What happens here

Protect surrounding areas from overspray and texture droplets. Use a 3M hand masker loaded with 9-inch masking paper and 1-inch masking tape. Apply the paper and tape along the baseboard, ensuring it covers the carpet or flooring. For added protection, especially if you are inexperienced with spray cans, apply a second row of masking paper just above the first, slightly overlapping, to create a wider protective barrier.

Goal: Protect flooring and baseboards from overspray

Tools and materials

1-inch Masking Tape — Securing the masking paper to surfaces

spray texturing our wall with our Homeax spray texture. And the spray texture is um definitely send some overspray and some droplets out that you don't want to get on your carpet or baseboard. So, we use a u 3M hand masker and we just take 9 in paper and 1 in tape. And we're just going to put a paper down here. Just set that down there. And that's going to keep any texture from falling on your carpet or your base. Then we usually set another piece just a little bit down from the wall right there. And if you want to make sure you don't get anything if you don't have a lot of experience with the spray cans, then just put a second row.
