If you paint the edges of the paint with your base color it seals the tape and you have clean lines.It may seem like a lot but in the end you have nice chrisp lines and I think less painting because the tape holds all your lines!

I've found something that REALLY works, no touchups needed: It's called Frog Tape. I just used it this weekend, it's great. I've also heard that if you paint over the blue tape with the color underneath it, it will seal the edges and when you paint over that, it won't leak. Love your project!Karenhttp://laurenandkates.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2251002563926506223.post-73804880241409496392010-06-28T08:21:03.762-04:002010-06-28T08:21:03.762-04:00Thank you Molly and Jeanine!Thank you Molly and Jeanine!Karahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01567816610927641247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2251002563926506223.post-91888520230962092742010-06-24T10:26:34.341-04:002010-06-24T10:26:34.341-04:00Great idea!
