STOP Lap Marks. Tips PRO's Use To Paint Perfect Walls.

What happens here

Work quickly across the wall to keep the paint wet. Use a "lay out" technique where you roll paint from top to bottom, distributing it evenly. It's critical to avoid going back to an area that has already started to dry to try and smooth it out, as this will almost certainly create a lap mark. Once you've moved past a section, it should not be revisited until the next coat.

Goal: Work efficiently to keep paint wet and distribute it without re-working dry areas.
