Keeping it precise tape wise
In the world of professional painting, ensuring a clean and precise finish is essential, especially when dealing with irregular surfaces. Here Q1® explores how to meet this challenge.
For painting and decorating professionals, maintaining clean, crisp lines while protecting surfaces from paint bleed is a constant challenge – especially when working with uneven surfaces. Whether you’re masking walls, baseboards, trim, wood or metal, using the right tape can really make a difference.
Masking surfaces can be quite tricky, especially when you’re working with textures and features that don’t offer a smooth adhesion surface. Many masking tapes struggle to stick properly to irregular surfaces, which can result in frustrating paint bleed-through or tape that comes off too soon. For professional painters and renovators, having a tape that can effectively handle both smooth and textured surfaces is crucial for achieving high-quality results without wasting valuable time.

Practical tips for getting the best hold
Prepare the surface thoroughly: Before applying tape, make sure the surface is clean, dry and free of dust or grease. Proper preparation will increase the adhesion of the tape and ensure it stays in place throughout your project.
Apply evenly: When applying tape to uneven surfaces, press down firmly to ensure that the adhesive contacts all areas, especially the edges. This will help prevent paint bleeding and keep your lines sharp.
Avoid overstretching the tape: Although Q1® tape will tear easily, be careful not to overstretch it during application. Overstretching can compromise its ability to adhere properly, especially on textured surfaces.
