Masking tape can be extremely helpful if you are not steady with a paintbrush. It can also be a time saver when painting multiple coats. The type of tape you use will depend on the project. Difficulty: Easy Things You’ll Need: Blue Masking Tape (for painting) Plastic for surface protection Steps 1. Decide on the area that needs to be taped and the tapes width. 2. You can add the plastic to the tape edge to protect un-painted areas. 3. Apply the tape by pressing down only on it edge. 4. Burnish (or rub) the edges to form a tight seal with the surface. 5. Apply the paint away from the tape edge. Do not paint towards the tape to avoid paint seepage. 6. Remove the tape by pulling at a 45 degree angle using a steady motion. 7. Any residue that might be left can be removed with paint thinner. Tips and Warnings: Pulling too slow will leave tape residue and pulling to fast could tear the tape.
