What happens here

Once all the spraying is complete, and while the paint on the ceiling is still wet, immediately begin removing the masking materials. Start by pulling down the 9-inch masking paper, which typically protects the upper portion of the walls. Then, remove any plastic sheeting (like 9x400 plastic) used to cover the rest of the walls. It is important to wait until all spraying is entirely finished, and any airborne paint dust has settled, before pulling down the plastic. This prevents settled dust from adhering to newly painted walls or ceiling if the plastic is removed too early.

Goal: Safely and cleanly remove protective masking from walls and surfaces

Now, while the paint is still wet up here on the ceilings, we like to begin pulling the masking down. Heat. See, I've begun pulling all this plastic or paper down. And now I'm going to begin pulling the plastic down. Once all the spray, I'm going to leave the plastic up until all the strands done cuz there's a lot of uh dust in the air and we don't want that settling on the walls. But once all the sprays done, we're going to start pulling the plastic down, too. But I like to pull the paper down while the paint's still wet. And this plastic containing here, we got um one of us is out here spraying the ceilings. And that's the process.
