4 Best Practices When Using Blue Painter's Tape

We know that time is money when working on a construction project, so we wanted to share some best practices for using blue painter's tape. Blue Painter's Tape is the most commonly used by painters worldwide. That's because it's affordable and easy to use and has a wide range of applications and uses. It is a Renovation Essential in every household. 

But what exactly is blue painter's tape? Blue painter's tape is a form of masking tape used to help paint things like walls and trim. It's also called painter's masking tape because it enables you to paint things without getting paint on other things you're not.

The key thing to know about blue painter's tape is that it sticks firmly onto multiple surfaces—without damaging or leaving residue when removed. This makes it ideal for use around the home, especially during projects like painting floors or walls/trim.

See below 4 best practices when using Blue Painter's Tape:

1. Slowly pat the tape down to the surface: Avoid Bubbles and wrinkles

Painting around door frames, molding, and ceiling corners can be tricky because they often have uneven surfaces that leave gaps between the tape and wall. To avoid this problem, slowly pat down each piece of tape to ensure a good seal around these areas. Patting gently will help prevent air bubbles from being trapped under the tape, which causes wrinkles in paint coverage.

2. Protect your doorknobs, fixtures, outlets, and light switches: These areas collect unwanted paint while working.

Blue painter's tape is not just used on walls during painting projects; it can also be used as masking tape on doors, light switches, outlets, and other surfaces that might get covered in paint splatters or drips while you're working. Protecting these items with blue painter's tape will keep them clean so you can easily clean them once you're done painting your walls or other surfaces in your home.

3. Avoid getting too much paint on the tape

Painter's tape is designed to keep paint off certain areas while painting. The problem is that if you put too much paint on the tape, it can bleed through. If you see this happening, simply wipe it off immediately before it dries and try again with a thinner layer of paint.

4. Remove the tape slowly when the paint is dry to the touch

Removing the painter's tape when the paint is dry is essential. The easiest way to do this is by peeling it off slowly, starting at the top, and working your way down. It can leave a sticky residue if you don't take it off slowly.

If you're working with multiple pieces of tape on different areas, make sure that each piece is completely dry before removing it from the surface so that no damage occurs in those areas.
