Step 1: Staple Drop Cloth to Wood

That’s it… All you do is staple the drop cloth to the wood. Make sure the wood isn’t too long to fit in the spots you’re working. The beauty is you give the stick a little kick and voila it’s tight against baseboard for the entire length and it stays in place. It’s not bullet proof. You can still mess up. But it helps moving your drops. You can even push it. I hope you find this as helpful as I have.
