STOP Paint Bleeding Under Tape | Painting Straight Lines

What happens here

As an alternative to caulking, apply white paint (or the color of the surface being taped) over a strip of standard FrogTape Orange production tape. Allow this paint to dry completely. This 'base coat first' method aims to seal the tape's edges with the base color, preventing the final color from bleeding.

Tools and materials

  • FrogTape Orange (Production Tape)
  • Paint Roller Tray
  • Small Paint Roller
  • White Paint

tape and you get into the same line with that look I'm going to take you know my tank the old mask on the wall and then underneath it is the white color that's the color I want to stay then I'm going to just take you know roll over the top of that white and that's going to seal The Edge if the paint is thick enough and yo this method Yo's typically going to turn out and have you know a few spots bleeding and stuff because if your Peaks and valleys you know are too high for the paint to actually seal it there's more viscosity to your caulking it's a lot thicker it's going to seal larger gas now I have to wait for this to dry in order to paint my other color over the top of it for obvious reasons because we don't want to mix two colors together the other methods you put your caulking on and you actually apply your coughing before or you apply your paint before the caulking dries and then before the caulking and the paint dries you pull your tape and you'll have this laser straight line This method right here when you um apply your white paint you're having paint That's bridging over the top of your tape to your wall that dries and you put your other tape over the top of it when you pull your tape you could get peeling what we call bridging or sharks teeth it'll peel from your tape to the wall and appeal it right off the wall or whatever surface you're painting on this method you can have the same thing but that's why we always pull our tape before the caulking dries and before the paint dries so you don't get any of that bridging because the caulking will bridge and the paint will break so you don't want your coffee
