Remove Masking

What happens here

Once the paint is dry to the touch (tack-free), it's time to carefully remove the masking paper and painter's tape. It's often best to remove tape when the paint is dry but not fully cured, as this can help achieve cleaner lines and prevent the paint from peeling. Pull the tape slowly at a 45-degree angle, pulling it back onto itself. If the paint has fully cured and you're concerned about it peeling, you can gently score the edge of the tape with a utility knife before removing it. Collect all used masking materials for proper disposal.

Goal: Reveal clean, sharp paint lines and a finished surface.
