PAINTING HACK/ Perfect Tape Lines!

[@myramedchan4775]

Makes sense the first coat eliminates the ability to leak under the tape.

[@gmontenegro9711]

Ooooh is that what it is? The first layer tightly seals the tape to the surface??

[@myramedchan4775]

​@@gmontenegro9711 yeah kinda and if the white (use the same or close to the same color as the color you are trying not to leak onto) leaks under the tape you won't notice because it is the same(or close enough) as the original. And yes the new color won't be able to leak because the fist layer would stop it

Ok mrs fancy nice writing girl ..lol

[@Itzsheila3087]

Had to watch this a few times before I could work out why that method worked. I’m painting and struggling to get a straight line so I’m gonna give this a go.🤷🏽‍♀️😂

[@Bridgett.]

Did it work for you

[@diyhostingremodeling9649]

If you don't have textured walls, you could use a credit card to really get the seam down or use more expensive frog tape. If you have texture, use this method. Works every time

[@Itzsheila3087]

@@Bridgett. Yes….

[@gmontenegro9711]

My mind is blown… I keep seeing this trick lol and I can’t figure out how it works. But will try it out!!

[@steveforster3420]

You can run a slightly damp rag along the tape edge to seal it tighter..then remove while paint still wet after a few mins to settle.

[@BallingRaptor]

Correct, that's what the paint is basically doing, but the flaw is you have to wait for the paint to dry versus the water, which is faster

[@jamesdean9943]

Thank you this makes this hack more clear! Seen another video and damn near lost my mind! 😂

[@charlienicholl6671]

No need for under coat if same colour, pull the tape off while still wet, works for me

[@diyhostingremodeling9649]

That's right. Unless you have knockdown or texture walls. The paint will go under the texture, but this trick seems to help.

[@bjw9529]

Why would I go buy background paint just to do this? What if it’s old paint you can’t replicate? Seems to only work if it’s a white background paint

[@edwinestrada8377]

Sometimes the paint will bleed through, that’s why it’s best to learn the technique of cutting it without taping it, specially if you’re working on a budget.

[@diyhostingremodeling9649]

Agreed

[@imxr.silkiow]

Cool 🤩

[@mannyguillen3603]

i needed this, i am gonna try it today

[@finestdime]

I just never have this issue with frog tape. Don't cheap out on painters tape. I'm sorry but I don’t have time or money to paint twice.

[@irismabbagu4332]

Nice trick

[@anitasmith7764]

If you have the 1st color! Great hack tho.

[@oliviashields6110]

How long does the first coat of base colour need to dry? I did my first corner (thankfully slightly hidden) with frog tape and had bleeding so trying to find a solution before attempting another!

[@diyhostingremodeling9649]

I would say dry to the touch. Just don’t put too much. Good luck!

[@chrysanthemumfairy]

Tried it and it worked like a charm! Thank you so much for this tip. I’m not longer afraid of doing accent walls as I know I can get a clean line every time!

Yes, as long as it’s the same color as the base

[@danielzavala2691]

This is fake. She repainted the edge on the right side chick softened up the bottom layer and it tore off cleanly. The one on the left she didn’t go over the edge n the second coat. The bottom white does help hide any bleed. But it does not tell the whole story.

[@myfaithlove9393]

😮😮 What was the difference 🙄😯🤔😲

[@Dominic7449]

You didn’t explain how you did them differently

[@diyhostingremodeling9649]

I thought it was explained, my apologies. For example, if your wall is white and you want to paint half pink. #1 place your tape #2 paint the tape line white #3 paint it pink over the side you painted white over the line. #4 peel the tape off, revealing a crisp pink and white line

[@Christian-cw9mp]

that makes sense. it bleeds the color the wall already is. brilliant and yet so simple.

[@Evitaschannel]

Won't this only work if you have the exact background colour?

[@diyhostingremodeling9649]

Yes, as long as you have the same base color you’re about to paint over. So that when it bleeds, and it usually does, it bleeds the same color on top of itself

[@DestinyA83]

It just doesn't make sense though to paint with the current color first, most of the time people don't have the current color still.

[@paynepayne1954]

Exactly. A lot of people paint when they move into a new home, so unlikely to know what the exact colour was before 😔

[@aldog5363]

Or dont use tape
