I do spend a lot of time edging.

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 15 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Have you tried switching to FireFoxing?

As long as you dont suggest chroming

[–] ObviouslyNotBanana@lemmy.world 11 points 2 weeks ago

A new gadget is the answer

[–] PixellatedDave@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

At the moment I can neither upvote nor downvote

Masking tape is a conspiracy

[–] ObviouslyNotBanana@lemmy.world 40 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

I don't see how masking tape is gonna help me masturbate

[–] toynbee@lemmy.world 33 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Then you're insufficiently kinky.

[–] ObviouslyNotBanana@lemmy.world 15 points 2 weeks ago

That's probably true

[–] thesporkeffect@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Sounds like something someone with painty taint would say.

[–] ObviouslyNotBanana@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

Taint taping huh

[–] eupraxia@lemmy.blahaj.zone 27 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

"hey wanna come hang out this weekend?" "sorry but-"

[–] Window_Error_Noises@lemmy.world 21 points 2 weeks ago (5 children)

For reals, though - having painted several rooms--literally in the current process of painting another--you can use whatever "time saving" ~~fucking scams~~ tools are out there, but Frog Tape, friends! Tape, like you're sealing a space station, and a little extra. Or just pay a professional to do it all properly, because it's frankly a bitch, depending on your walls and layout.

[–] fine_sandy_bottom@lemmy.federate.cc 16 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I used to think that but honestly now I avoid it where I can. Like between a wall and cornice a sash brush is fine. Removing switches like like fittings and switches is better than taping too.

[–] Window_Error_Noises@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

More power to you! I mean, I don't tape outlets, just remove the covers, and be mindful of the plugs.But, my own house is riddled with crown moulding, including around the doorframes, which is very pretty and all, the contrasting white is lovely with painted walls, but DAMN if its jutting edges, corners, and curvy bits don't sneak up on ya when you're using a brush or a roller, no matter how carefully. So, for my clumsy bum, tape and more tape!

[–] curiousaur@reddthat.com 9 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I've hired two professionals now. One came in a taped like you described, and accounted for that time in the quote. The other charged less and did a better job overall because they didn't tape. They said real professionals just cut in.

[–] Window_Error_Noises@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

Damn, that's interesting! I'd think like any profession, some are just that good?

I'm a "better-safe-than-touch-up these fucking baseboards until I'm screaming" kinda person, so I'll splurge my time on taping. I also tend to paint with strong-ass pigments, so I don't wanna try to fix those blunders, haha. The previous owners of our home basically had the entire interior sprayed with matte ceiling paint over plaster when they moved out, so the kitchen, stairwell, and bathrooms are going to pros, especially so they can be done in succession. I just wanna be able to easily wash my flippin' walls.

[–] FelixCress@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

just pay a professional to do it all properly,

Fuck that man. I had two "professionals" doing paint jobs for me in the past, ended up with microscopic paint drops on other surfaces. I rather do it myself.

[–] ObviouslyNotBanana@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Yeah. Tape is good for many things.

No, like a hamster in a tape.

You should you always wrap your hamster in duct tape so it won't explode when you fuck it.

[–] vinyl@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

yea it drained me on how long it took to paint my walls white. annoying that i have to wait a while before going again.

[–] FelixCress@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

That's what she said.

Edgemaxxing with the edge master 😎😎

[–] Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 18 points 2 weeks ago

Don't be a goon, get an Edge Master today

[–] SkunkWorkz@lemmy.world 18 points 2 weeks ago

Edging takes 75% of the time.

Yeah that’s the point.

[–] OpenPassageways@lemmy.zip 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Crazy that people paint around switches and smoke detectors instead of unscrewing them.

[–] kamen@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

It's so you can tell that they're lazy landlords I guess.

[–] Bruncvik@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

Everyone is talking about taping, but the real MVP is baby wipes.

[–] moosetwin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

my dumb ass thought the joke was about the image being broken

I mean... If that's funny it can also be the joke ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
