PATRICK BECK | REDPEAK PROPERTIES Tape? You Don’t Need No Stinking Tape How much time and money do you spend taping off or cutting in around outlets and ceilings? Until recently I used to cut in around every outlet, ceiling and baseboard. This little trick that I recently learned can save you hours with just a regular paint roller. 1. Start by trimming the edge of your roller at an angle. Keep the end clean and trim any fibers that are sticking up. 2. Roll the trimmed, clean edge along the celining and baseboards. Wipe off any paint from unwanted areas with a wet rag immediately. 3. To save even more time, roll over outlet and switch covers using the same method, immediately wiping clean with a damp micro fiber rag.
