Eliminate overspray with FrogTape and 9” paper. #fyb #overspray #tips

What happens here

To prevent paint overspray from running down the wall once it hits the masking paper, pull the masking paper slightly away from the wall. Then, create a sharp crease in the paper where it meets the wall, effectively forming a small 'dam.' This dam will act as a barrier, causing the overspray to curl outwards and away from the wall, rather than trickling down.

Goal: Create a barrier to redirect overspray.
