Actually you can tape within a couple of hours if you use either 3M 1 or 2
type tape on their scale of 1 to 5. Type 1 is like Post-it adhesive. Type
1 is harder to find. Type 2 works ok for me. Type 5 by the way is for
surfaces like rough bricks.
Also worth buying bright work lights, the kind with the skinny cylinder type
halogen bulbs.

One good reason for not using tape is that you'd have to wait a few days
for the ceiling to dry, otherwise you'll pull the new paint off with the
tape.

Don't have a hangover and coffee shakes, and practice a bit. It's not
hard.
