"Hi, this is Dan and we are continuing with our demonstration for expertvillage.com. We are going to go ahead and discuss the choice, if I'm going to mask it off or not. If you are pretty artistic and you can keep a straight line and you are confident in your abilities to maintain that line then it is a safe bet. I would still do a lot of practice before I did it on my own. If you have any question about whether you are good enough or not I would just mask it off. If you are also in a hurry you can mask it off and it would sometimes save you time especially for a more inexperience person. Other time it could leave you a big mess. So if there is any questions about it I would go ahead and mask it off. "
