How to choose the right painter's tape.

Prep! This is one of the most important pieces of advice we can give to any painter.   If you want professional results you have to prep like a pro.  

A good painters tape keeps the paint from bleeding underneath it, it's easy to remove, and it doesn't take the paint off with it.  Painters tape is a must if you want tight lines.   It’s a tedious job but pays off in the final product.  

Painters tape is relatively inexpensive.   Most people when they think of painters tape they think blue.   ScotchBlue painters tape is a workhorse.  It’s been tried and tested for years and applied right does a great job. 

If you want to spend a few extra dollars we recommend FrogTape.  FrogTape has a chemical that blocks paint from bleeding underneath the tape.  We have tested this product and stand by it

.  

TIP!  No matter what tape you choose don’t let the paint dry over it.  Try to remove the tape within 2 hours of painting.  This should reduce the chances of the paint drying and coming off when you remove the tape. 

If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to ask anyone of our painting professionals at Thybony Paint.  I hope this helps! Come and see us.
