Painters Masking
masking tape and blue painters tape?
can i use masking tape instead of blue painters tape?
its just an edge for me
im re-painting my windows and i just dont want any white paint on my walls
will masking tape do the job for me?
I expect I might offend a few people but have some suggestions. Forgive me that. I’ll give everyone a thumbs up.
I’ve applied multiple thousands of gallons of paint in 45 years, and part of the issue no one addressed is that TAPE should be removed from the masked surface “immediately” after, or as soon after, applying paint, as possible.
THERE IS A DIFFERENCE. Painters masking tape offers a lower adhesion, while still effectively doing the designed job. I use MILES of blue, but actually prefer a slight upgrade to Green. Another issue is to purchase NEW. If any tape will not pull away from the roll clean and smooth then it may have been warehoused too long? On that note. DO NOT set any roll on its side. unless you might have waxed paper or plastic wrap. ON the face is what I recommend, simply to keep the adhesive, which does exist on the side of the CUT rolls, and can pick up any manner of STUFF that will disallow a clean edge.
Certainly another issue is in the brush, the operator ability with a steady hand, and the amount of paint initially applied. Masking tape is designed for possible OOOPS, NOT to load the tape/wall/window frame JOINT with paint, then pull off a straight, clean edge. An experienced PRO might finish a 12 light window frame in 20 minutes, never using an inch of tape.
Finally, The tape, no matter if it’s paper masking, or Duct, should only be applied to a well cured surface. I promise you however, if you wait until the latex, or Oil sets, you’ll be repainting the frames as well as the walls, no matter what you use to MASK.
