Masking Wood
Trim
You can paint like a pro if you mask your work. Use
pre-gummed masking paper or wide masking tape to protect
anything you don't want splattered or painted over.
Masking is a great way to paint adjacent surfaces, like
where door or window trim of one color meets wallboard of
another. Mask the trim and you can paint the wallboard
right up to the edge of the trim. Reverse the process and
you can paint the trim to within a whisker of the
wallboard. When you're finished, carefully remove the tape
and presto! A perfect paint job. |

1 Use pre-gummed paper
or wide masking tape to protect wood moldings from
paint splatters. Leave the outside edge of the
masking tape loose. |

2 After applying the
tape, run the tip of a putty knife along the inside
edge of the tape to seal against seeping paint. You
should remove the masking materials as soon as the
paint is too dry to run. |
