For example, you can use masking tape when taping off the area between a ceiling and wall or when taping off dresser drawers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wagnerspraytech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Geo_tape-1_1100x654.jpg\" alt=\"Geo tape 1 1100x654\" class=\"wp-image-12190\" style=\"aspect-ratio:16\/9;object-fit:contain\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wagnerspraytech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Geo_tape-1_1100x654.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.wagnerspraytech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Geo_tape-1_1100x654-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.wagnerspraytech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Geo_tape-1_1100x654-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.wagnerspraytech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Geo_tape-1_1100x654-768x768.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Plastic Masking Sheets<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Use plastic masking sheets when covering and protecting large areas. For example, you might use plastic masking sheets to cover windows when painting a home exterior or the interior of cabinet boxes. Some plastic masking comes with tape already attached for ease and speed when covering areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wagnerspraytech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Step-1-1.jpg\" alt=\"Step 1 (1)\" class=\"wp-image-12189\" style=\"aspect-ratio:16\/9;object-fit:contain\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wagnerspraytech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Step-1-1.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.wagnerspraytech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Step-1-1-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.wagnerspraytech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Step-1-1-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.wagnerspraytech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Step-1-1-768x768.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Spray Shield<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead of masking, you can use a spray shield to provide crisp, clean lines when spraying. This is an effective alternative, but you need to be attentive to the spray shield to make sure paint doesn\u2019t spray underneath the shield.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wagnerspraytech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Capture-8-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Capture 8\" class=\"wp-image-12188\" style=\"aspect-ratio:16\/9;object-fit:contain\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wagnerspraytech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Capture-8-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.wagnerspraytech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Capture-8-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.wagnerspraytech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Capture-8-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.wagnerspraytech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Capture-8-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.wagnerspraytech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Capture-8-1536x1536.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.wagnerspraytech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Capture-8-1568x1568.jpg 1568w, https:\/\/www.wagnerspraytech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Capture-8.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Mask\/Respirator and Eye Protection<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Safety is always important when tackling any painting or staining project. Remember to wear a painting mask or respirator whenever you\u2019re using a sprayer or using toxic materials that could be harmful to breathe in. Eye protection is also important to make sure any foreign substances don\u2019t get in your eyes. Always refer to the safety information of the material you\u2019re using.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wagnerspraytech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Titan_Control-Max_Fence_Semi-Pro_22-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Titan Control Max Fence Semi Pro 22\" class=\"wp-image-12187\" style=\"aspect-ratio:16\/9;object-fit:contain\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wagnerspraytech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Titan_Control-Max_Fence_Semi-Pro_22-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.wagnerspraytech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Titan_Control-Max_Fence_Semi-Pro_22-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.wagnerspraytech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Titan_Control-Max_Fence_Semi-Pro_22-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.wagnerspraytech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Titan_Control-Max_Fence_Semi-Pro_22-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.wagnerspraytech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Titan_Control-Max_Fence_Semi-Pro_22-1536x1536.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.wagnerspraytech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Titan_Control-Max_Fence_Semi-Pro_22-1568x1568.jpg 1568w, https:\/\/www.wagnerspraytech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Titan_Control-Max_Fence_Semi-Pro_22.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Extension Cord<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Have an extension cord on hand to plug in your paint sprayer and other power tools that you might need for your project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wagnerspraytech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/shutterstock_406879615-1-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"shutterstock 406879615 1\" class=\"wp-image-12186\" style=\"aspect-ratio:16\/9;object-fit:contain\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wagnerspraytech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/shutterstock_406879615-1-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.wagnerspraytech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/shutterstock_406879615-1-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.wagnerspraytech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/shutterstock_406879615-1-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.wagnerspraytech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/shutterstock_406879615-1-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.wagnerspraytech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/shutterstock_406879615-1-1536x1536.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.wagnerspraytech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/shutterstock_406879615-1-1568x1568.jpg 1568w, https:\/\/www.wagnerspraytech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/shutterstock_406879615-1.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ladder<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re painting or staining a tall area such as a home exterior, underneath a deck, or a tall entryway then you might need a ladder for additional reach.
