What is the best method to tape off areas for painting? I've tried blue & masking tape, straight edge, etc
Question
I can't get a straight edge when painting and I've tried blue tape, straight edges, small brushes. I hate to paint because i spend so much time touching up areas where paint has krept under the tape. Thanks for the advice.

Answer
I have always had the best success using blue tape. You can't leave it up for as long as suggested on the package. The faster you can tape and paint and get the tape off. The better your chances of having straight lines. Apply the side of the tape you want your line on first and then flatten out the tape to the other side.
