Surface preparation

Before starting any painting project, it's crucial to prepare the surface properly. Clean the surface thoroughly, ensuring it's free from dust, dirt, and grease. Once cleaned, allow the surface to dry completely before applying any tape. Use 3560 Q1® Precision Line Masking Tape: when you need precise, sharp lines, such as when painting around trim, edges, or corners. Apply the tape along the areas you want to protect, pressing it firmly onto the surface to ensure no paint bleeds through. If you're working on delicate surfaces like freshly painted walls or wallpaper, choose 3570 Q1® Delicate Surface Masking Tape. For extremely delicate surfaces like plaster, 3590 Q1® Sensitive Surface Masking Tape provides superior protection; its smooth adhesive ensures excellent paint anchorage without causing any harm.

Applying paint

Once the surface is prepared and taped, it's time to apply the paint. Use a high-quality paintbrush, roller, or spray gun for even coverage. 3560 ensures clean, precise lines, making it ideal for creating sharp edges and intricate designs. When painting over delicate surfaces, such as fresh paint or wallpaper, 3570 tape provides gentle protection, while 3590 is the best solution for the most delicate surfaces: paint over the taped areas with confidence, knowing that the surface underneath will remain unharmed thanks to the tapes' innovative construction.

Removing the tape

After you have finished painting, it is crucial to remove the tape promptly to prevent any damage to the painted surface. When removing tape 3560, peel it off at a 45-degree angle while the paint is still slightly wet. Tapes 3570 and 3590 should be removed within 24 hours of painting to prevent the formation of any adhesive residue which might be difficult to remove later.

Whether you're tackling a small touch-up or embarking on a full-scale renovation, these tapes provide the reliability, versatility, and performance you need to succeed.
