What happens here

Once the paper is positioned correctly under the baseboard, run a piece of Frog Tape along the seam where the existing tape on the paper meets the flooring. This action creates a tight seal, securing the paper to the floor and preventing any paint from bleeding underneath. The presenter emphasizes that securing the tape this way will allow for easy removal later.

Goal: Firmly secure the masking paper to the floor to prevent paint bleed.

Tools and materials

  • Frog Tape Frog Tape — Sealing the masking paper to the floor
  • Masking paper with Frog Tape N/A — The base protective layer

What they say

Hide

I'm pulling out, using my masker, and then I'm just taking and sliding underneath the baseboards. I'm going to thin it on the gap, like it's sliding underneath there, and I'm not pressing it down. I'm sliding underneath, being very careful, running a piece of tape on the same touching it right here. That way it will come out really easy. The frog tape keeps the paper, you know, keeps it stiff enough, because the paper will get really soggy, you know, from trying to pull it out,
