Painting without tape Vs. Painting with tape | which one is better option?

Easy-to-remove best edge paint brush has become the paint edging device for most do-it-yourself lovers because of its predictability and low-stick qualities.


By contrast, painting without tape might seem difficult, unnecessary, and even a bit charming. Painting alongside an edge without a practical border can indeed be a nerve-wracking experience. Yet painting wall ceiling as well as trim edges without tape is more than just an artistic flourish. It is a common rehearsal, particularly among time-starved professional painters. Do-it-yourself lovers, too, can enjoy many of the benefits that cutting-in paint can offer.

Painting Without Tape
  • Painting with a Tape

With this method, a special painter’s tape ranging from one inch to three inches wide is applied to one side of two adjacent areas, where one side will be painted and the other side will not. The tape is applied to the non-painted area and low-tack painter’s tape removes with no sticky residue and is the only kind of tape you should use. Paint flippantly against the tape. Let this first coat dry, then paint a second coat and remove the tape after paint has thoroughly dried.

  • Painting without tape

Favoured by professional painters, the cut-in method is pure free hand painting. No paint tape is used. Metal masking guards are not used, either. Using an angled sash brush and a special cut bucket, draw wide sweeps of paint close to but not touching the excluded area!

Pros-

  • · Eliminates an additional step from the painting process, saving time

  • · Less pricey, as painter’s tape can be fairly pricey
