I've heard the term "Burnish the edge's of the tape", could someone please explain this to me?
Thanks in advance!
Thanks in advance!
Another idea is to hit the edge of the tape with a quick spray of the color you are wanting to cover. For example, if you have sprayed Blue and then want to spray Red, hit the edge of the tape with a quick shot of the blue first, spraying away from the edge.
I've always used a curved dental tool to smooth the edge of the tape on models.
Years ago my daughter helped me paint a room. I gave her very specific instructions on how to seal the edge of the tape against the baseboard. She gave me the typical teen response, rolled her eyes, said "whatever", and went on to mask the baseboard. When we got done I had her pull the tape off. Surprise, surprise, the paint crept under the tape onto the baseboard. I looked at her and asked her if she followed my instructions. She turned red in the face and apologized. I think she realized at that point that her old man wasn't as dumb as she thought I was.
