Can you use masking tape on a wall you have just painted to get an even edge on the woodwork you are about to gloss?

You don't want to use masking tape. After a short time it will be hard to remove. When your new paint is good and dry, you should use the blue painter's tape. It should come off with out pulling off the paint, but I would try a small test on one spot frist.

What first when Painting dado rails and walls?
paint the wall first and the woodwork later. Acrylic paint for walls is generally applied with much bigger brushes / rollers whereas gloss or eggshell for woodwork can be used with smaller brushes which are more accurate. If the wall paint is dry it is possible to use low tack masking tape to give a sharp edge 'cutting in' to the edges of dados and skirtings where they join the wall. Most professional decorators have very steady hands and do without masking tape.

How do you texture paint walls?
Textured paint is made by adding some inert material to your paint, either while it is still in the can, or by sprinkling it on while the paint is still wet. The most common usage is to give "grip" to painted stairs. An additive known as "Shark skin" - it is really just a fine sand - is added to paint in the can, stirred in and the steps are painted with the mixture. The result is a non-slip surface. The difficulty is that if you do not continually stir the paint the additive settles to the bottom of the can. The best way to use this product is to paint the stairs, wait for the paint to dry, tape or mask off all of the tread but a 1 1/2 inch strip at the front edge of the step, apply another coat of paint and while it is wet sprinkle the "Shark skin" into the wet paint. Remove the tape or masking and wait for the paint to dry. This gives you a a tidier look, a non-slip edge and does not ruin the paint you have left.
