Keeping Paste Off The Painted Wall

See that faint strip of blue running along the right edge of the dark wallpaper? That is a special piece of plastic tape that is used to keep the paste on the back of the wallpaper from getting onto the painted wall or ceiling.

After the cut is made, the excess paper and tape are pulled away. Be sure to grab the blue tape from both sides of the cut.

Voilà! The wall is kept nice and clean; no need to wipe paste off the ceiling or worry about smearing paste into a textured surface.
