When to Remove Your Caulked Masking Tape? Painting HACK

What happens here

The presenter applies two strips of Frog Tape to a heavily textured 'orange peel' wall, simulating a stripe. He explains that even with Frog Tape, significant texture can lead to paint bleeding underneath. He then introduces the caulk gun and caulk as the solution, warning that if caulk dries before tape removal, it can cause 'bridging,' pulling off paint or wall texture.

Goal: Prepare the wall with tape for painting and understand the importance of timely caulk removal.
