Paint Bleeding Through Your Masking Tape? Stop Paint Bleed.

This is Chris in BNK Painting. In this video, we're going to be showing you how we deal with wood trim work where the homeowners have gotten paint all over the trim work and how as a professional painter, we can go back and repaint this room a different color and resolve that issue to the best of our ability. And they've got green paint this woodwork and there's no way we can get it off. So, what we're going to do is we're going to take our masking and we're going to mask onto the wood trim work as far as we need to to actually cover their paint and actually make a nice straight line. It's all bled through and it's jagged looking. So, we're going to make a nice crisp line with our new paint and our in our new masking line. I'm going to take this masking. I'm going to start on this door and I'm going to take and decide how far out their bleeding is. And then I'm going to start masking that far out. And hopefully their bleeding only goes out, you know, about a 16th of an inch or an eighth of an inch at most. So I'm going to run my masking a nice good clean line. And if it goes onto the wood trim work very far, it's going to look a lot better if it's a nice crisp line with the new paint versus our new paint. and their old paint all over the wood trim work. So, I'm going to run line. I'm going to keep the a consistent same distance all the way down. And then if the bleeding's on the p base too, I'm going to just do the same thing with the baseboards. I want to mask the baseboards out about this one is about 16th of an inch or so. And I need to straighten my lines up. Just straighten them up with some tape. And now I got a nice line going up there and it's exposing some of the stained wood. And now when I get ready to paint it, we're rolling our first coat on the walls first and then we're going to come back do our cutins. And while the cutins are still wet, we'll roll our second coat. And prior to doing our cutins on here, the tape, if um you don't use a tape like Frog tape, even if you use frog tape, the blade the the paint still can bleed through. But we take uh cocking from Sherwood Williams and it's clear cocking 950A. So if the clear cocking bleeds through the tape, it'll actually dry clear. And so we'll take cut a very small hole and then you're going to take and put a bead of cocking down this tape. Smooth it out with your finger and then paint it and then pull the tape right off immediately while the cocking is still and the paint is still wet. So you run your cocking on your tape. Don't let the cocking dry or when you pull your tape off, it's going to peel the cocking off because it'll bridge from your tape to your wall. So, put your caulking on, wipe, smear it all out so it fills that gap and actually seals the tape and then immediately paint over it and then pull your tape off and you'll have a perfectly crisp line going down your stained woodwork. And that will look a lot better than their bleeding jagged marks all over the trimmed woodwork. There was that. Yeah, all of them are taken off in here.
