What happens here
While kneeling, the painter uses a specialized masking tool that combines a roll of masking paper and an integrated tape dispenser. Wearing FENTO knee pads for comfort and protection, they guide the tool along the top edge of the baseboard, unrolling the masking paper and simultaneously applying green painter's tape to secure it. This process creates a clean, protected barrier for the baseboards, preventing paint from reaching them when painting the walls.
Goal: Protect baseboards from paint splatter.
