I have a concern and question of tapes. On a typical repaint where baseboards are fully cured, I usually buy a production tape or a blue tape. ALthough the best tape that I have used was in the 90's in washington state and was 3m 2090. Was expensive and stuck to the dirtiest, difficult surfaces and I don't recall having frustrations more often like I do now. I don't see 2090 around here in WV.
I usually remove the tape on the same day. Although on occasions it will be the following day, and usually I have to go along with a razor blade and work at removing, get a good pull started and then, the tape rips.
So I have switched now to frog tape. Luckily there was a bucket sale at SW where I am forced to shop because there are really no other choices other than Lowes or HD. PPG is too far away to make daily drives. The bucket sale was 35% off painting sundry's. So I tested the green and it seems ok.
I will return on further tape discussion...cause I am not finished.....but have to get a snack for the kid..
OR maybe I make him wait and toss in the ?
I will be doing a new const. project and will most likely use Pro Classic Waterbase on the trim or their waterborne acrylic alkyd, and am worried about tape transfer or pulling off of the finish...is it just a matter of a good day or two of drytime? or do you know a great system with tapes/brands?
I am not using oil or lacquer coating beacause I am sick of the hassle or clean up and drytime.-stink.
The base/trim comes preprimed, and the plan is that I will reprime after I spackle...
anytips would be great.....ly appreciated.
