ScotchBlue Sharp Lines Multi-Surface Painter's Tape, 1.88 Inches x 60 Yards, 3 Rolls, Blue, Paint Tape Protects Surfaces and Removes Easily, Edge-Lock Painting Tape for Indoor and Outdoor Use

Clean Surface

The surface should be clean, dry and dust-free so the tape sticks properly.

Apply Tape

Lay tape onto the surface, pressing down as you go. Don’t stretch the tape, or it may lift or break.

Secure Tape

Press tape down firmly with a smooth edge, like a putty knife or credit card.

Let Tape Set

Wait about 30 to 60 minutes before you begin painting.

Wait

Wait until the paint is dry to the touch before removing the tape. Check the paint can for the manufacturer's dry times.

Score

Use a putty knife or razor blade to score along the edge of the tape. This prevents paint from being pulled up with the tape and from cracking along the paint line.

Tape

Taking your time, lift up the painter’s tape and pull it back on itself, removing at a 45 degree angle. If adhesive sticks to the surface, try a 90-degree angle.

You’ll get a sharp, clean line and a professional looking paint job!
