If you sell a lot of painting supplies to contractors and painters, you need to stock a lot of taping equipment like blue painters tape. This product is very popular, and your customers will probably appreciate these helpful tips for getting the most from a tape job. These suggestions can help them save time, money, and hassles.
What is Blue Painters Tape?
Blue colored tape is a good universal taping product. In fact, many painters can buy it and won’t need to invest in other kinds of tape. Here are some of its properties:
It can be used on a wide range of surfaces like painted walls. You can also use it on wall and ceiling trim, metal surfaces, glass, and wood.
Medium strength adhesion – it sticks well enough to stay in place while you need it, but you won’t have to worry about it sticking too fast to your surfaces. Removal is not difficult.
You can wait as long as two weeks. This kind of tape can be left on surfaces for a two week period, and you can still remove it cleanly without adhesive sticking to the surface. This is important for oil painting and finishing jobs that require a long time to cure.
For Best Results
It’s important to dust and clean your surfaces before applying blue painters tape. If there is any dirt or grease, you may need to scrub or clean the surfaces first. Improper cleaning is one of the biggest reasons for tape failure.
Sealing
Make sure to completely seal your tape after application. You can run your finger or a putty knife along the surface for sealing, and it only takes a few minutes. If you don’t seal your tape well, you run the risk of paint seeping underneath it. This will ruin an otherwise perfect paint job.
