I really haven't found a tape brand that works as seen in commercials. I've accepted the fact that I will free hand cut everything.First step test, used painters tape because of the sharp lines of the step and remembers why I don’t use painter tape anymore . Will probably hand cut the rest.View attachment 143662
I came to the same conclusion a few years ago and even bought "the real stuff". The only success i had was when I painted stripes on a wall for my son's room. I would rather see a clean wavy line than a crisp line that has areas where it seeped under.I really haven't found a tape brand that works as seen in commercials.

Caulk the tape joint. Super thin line wiped down will ensure no seepage.I came to the same conclusion a few years ago and even bought "the real stuff".

this seems like alot of work and time to get that clean linelike soft porn - way too much plot!
i'd notice the ridge in the caulk on the trim (the thickness of the tape.)
use tape when caulking a bathtub for straight lines. esp if not white on white. and over grout lines.
I employ the horseshoes/hand grenades philosophy for painting - close enough!First step test, used painters tape because of the sharp lines of the step and remembers why I don’t use painter tape anymore . Will probably hand cut the rest.View attachment 143662

Oh wow that is sweet. I wish I did enough work on my car to justify a jack setup like that.quickjack 7000slx, the wife is always cold so thats irrelevant!
Have you tried this stuff? Pricey, but works better than the standard blue tape. I smooth the thick end of a shim and use it to press down the edge of the tape.I really haven't found a tape brand that works as seen in commercials. I've accepted the fact that I will free hand cut everything.
