It is hard to tape fresh paint and not risk damage when removed. It is also hard to get the tape seal good enough to prevent paint seepage under the tape. The best method is to chalk or mark a line and brush to it. Unfortunately that requires a fair amount of experience with brushing paint.
You will want to use a low tack tape and let the prior coat dry for a few days. It would be a good idea to use the tape as a guide and try and keep the tape paint free. Remove the tape as soon as your done painting..... and hope for the best. __________________ retired painter/contractor  avid DIYer |
