When do you pull your tape? So, I did my first coat. I stayed away from my tape. Then I do my cut in before my cut in dries. I don't even do a full wall. Then I'll take roll this and then I'll pull it while it's wet. I always pull my tape when the paint is wet. So, I'm just cruising right along. So, this is wet. I need to go wet on wet. Keep a wet edge so I don't get haloing. So now I'm going to take quickly roll this over my cut in. Get close. This will eliminate haloing. If you get really close down there, it's important you practice this. on accent walls. So now I'm going to get my rolling done as close as I can. I'm going to pull my tape. Everything's still wet. Pull my tape. Frog tape. Perfectly straight lines every time. No coughing. [Music]
