How to control overspray! #howto #tipsandtricks #handyman #DIY #painter

What happens here

Begin the masking process by using a masking tool to apply 9-inch wide masking paper, secured with production tape, along the perimeter of the window trim. The tape should create a clean line against the trim, and the paper should extend onto the wall, covering the area that needs protection from overspray. The video implies this step is already mostly complete at the start.

Goal: Start by applying masking paper along the edge of the window trim where it meets the wall, ensuring the paper covers the adjacent wall surface.

Today I got a handy tip for you and it's how to keep your overspray from running down your walls when you're spraying your trim if you've already painted your walls. What we would be doing is we'd be masking around this entire window and I'd be masking with just 9 in paper in my production tape. So I have this paper here. Now in order to keep the overspray from running down the wall, I'm just going to take pre fold my paper over and crease it.
