What happens here
After applying all the tape, perform a final check of every edge and corner. Use your fingers, a credit card, or a putty knife to firmly press down all the tape, ensuring it's completely sealed against the wall. This step is crucial for preventing paint from seeping under the tape and creating fuzzy lines, ensuring you achieve the sharp, clean edges characteristic of a checkerboard design.
Goal: Ensure maximum paint bleed prevention for crisp lines
