How to Paint Sharp Lines on Textured and Uneven Surfaces

<p><strong>Materials Needed:</strong></p> <ol><li>FrogTape® Multi-Surface Painter’s Tape </li><li>Clear latex caulking with caulk gun</li></ol> <p><strong><br>Step 1 <br></strong>Apply FrogTape® to wall in the desired area, making sure the tape is straight and level. Press down firmly to seal.</p> <p><strong>Step 2</strong><br>With a caulk gun loaded with clear latex caulking, carefully apply a thin line of caulking along the edge of the tape, then wipe away excess with your thumb or finger. The moisture of the caulking activates FrogTape’s PaintBlock® Technology, which causes the edges of the tape to swell to create an additional seal against paint seepage. Clean excess caulking from your hands with a wet towel or sponge.</p> <p><strong>Step 3</strong><br>Important: Painting and tape removal must be completed before the caulking dries. If the caulking is allowed to dry, paint may pull away when you remove the tape.</p> <p><strong>Step 4</strong><br></p> <p>Using a brush, paint along and over the tape and caulking. Be sure to completely cover the area with paint.</p> <p><strong>Step 5</strong><br></p> <p>While the paint is damp and before the caulking is able to dry, remove the tape.</p> <p><em><strong>Note:</strong> Some caulking might bleed under the tape, but since it’s clear, it won’t affect the end result.</em></p>
