you might want to wipe off the paint you just got on the wall 😂

[OnlyBlix]

You gotta love all the professional painters chiming in 😂 not enough thinking prowess to realize these YouTube videos are meant for homeowners to make the process easier.

I discovered many years ago that the cardboard bottle dividers found in shipping boxes from the liquor store, cut into slats are sturdy and yet thin enough to get under the baseboards and I use them over and over through an entire house of baseboards whether carpet, woodfloor or tile. So easy and they're free.

As a painter for 27 years, this makes me want to break something

[leskobrandon]

Take an 18" or 24 " drywall knife, tuck it in under the baseboard, paint 18" or 24 " of baseboard, pull the knife out and move it on down the line repeating this process . Keep a wet rag handy in case you need to wipe the blade off occasionally. DO NOT waste time and good money on taping Works for tile too even if there is no gap

[scottschreiber]

I like the bottom part. I refuse to put tape on walls because too many times it pulled the paint. I just use a good brush for the top of the trim.

[jeffreylittlewood]

Removing masking tape right after painting eliminates 'bleeding' It also prevents lifting of the old paint along the tape edge. He allowed the paint to dry on the lower tape so that paint on the tape does not leave a trace on the carpet.

Does frogtape come in 12 inch wide rolls?

[darreneffle]

The man i apprenticed and was for 3 yrs didn't let me go until i could paint a straight line by hand on any surface and replace the pump on my own sprayer. To this day being 20 yrs later i still paint, enjoy my job, never have i ran out of painting jobs.

[gregpetre]

Get the 24” wide roll of plastic for carpets, it has a good tack to it. You can tuck
It right under neath the baseboard. Gives the customer more peace of mind, and yourself

[altonscott]

All you guys after get is a firm piece of cardboard at least 2 ft push it under the baseboard and use a small roller and run alongside the cardboard and that's it

[Sonnie]

In the UK the skirting boards go directly on to the floor, there is no gap for carpet to squeeze underneath… 🙄

[fifty-plus]

Lucky you masked the wall. That was a close one.

[republicanman]

Using a paper plate for a mini roller paint pan. Brilliant 🤣😂🤣😂

[SUN_boombap]

Vinyl tape works best for tucking carpet. You can run 9in brown paper from your masker on top of that. Done. Taping wall on top of your base is always optional but not exactly necessary. The pro is you don’t have to care and can paint fast and keep your wet edge a lot easier. Con is you spend extra time and material.

[nostalgicpep]

Though I agree taping off the carpet because there’s no painter in the world that can paint baseboards without getting paint on the carpet, I do recommend when taping the top edge of the baseboard is to run a very thin coat of white paint to form a better seal between the tape and baseboard without seapage on the wall. It works.

[sajid]

Nice!👍 always was wondering how to paint skirting boards. 🤔 😊

[Wellactually]

If you run a fine bead of caulking along the top and wipe it almost completely away, you will eliminate all chances of bleeding. This works very well with textured walls.

[spongetomsquarepants]

I use a 3' spray shield and just slide it down as I brush. Will save about a half hour of taping.

[contractor]

Use Purdy 1/4” nap mini roller, green color fabric. Best one for trim, doors and cabinets as it has next to zero texture. I usually do a coat more then normal because it is thinner then 3/8th or 1/2” . Great results and you won’t have the extra nap pieces rolling over top the tape on the wall.
