What happens here

After applying the first strip, load the roller fully with paint. For the next strip, overlap the previously painted wet section by approximately 50% or 3 to 4 inches. It is crucial to keep the roller amply loaded with paint to ensure the wall remains completely saturated and wet. The presenter emphasizes avoiding a "dry nap" (roller running out of paint) as this will cause streaks and an uneven finish.

Goal: Apply paint with consistent overlap and fully loaded roller to maintain a wet, saturated surface.
