Pulling the FrogTape! Perfect painted lines. #howtopaint #perfectlines #paintingtips #painter

What happens here

After the paint has dried to the touch but is not fully cured (typically within an hour or two of the final coat), begin carefully pulling the Frog Tape. Pull the tape slowly at a 45-degree angle, pulling it back onto itself rather than straight up or outwards. This technique helps ensure a clean break in the paint and prevents tearing. As you pull, you'll reveal the perfectly straight and crisp paint lines, which is often considered the most satisfying part of the job.

Goal: Reveal perfectly straight and clean paint lines by removing the tape.
