There is no doubt that blue painters tape has become a must on every job site. Yet, for many contractors, this is the type of task that takes time and requires a bit more precision than expected. That can make it a bigger investment than just the cost of the tape itself. However, with a few tips, it is possible to get the tape in place quickly and to ensure the best possible results in the process.
Buy a Quality Product
The biggest problem from the application of blue painters tape comes from being a poor quality product. If the tape is not adhesive enough, it will not stick in place and may even pull up as you are applying it. That costs you time and money in the process. That is also why you should buy a respected brand name or a product that is designed to be highly reliable.
Apply with Care
There is no secret to placing this tape in place. It takes a few extra minutes but can be easily done by one person. Start on the highest point, and allow the tape to hang a bit as you apply pressure to the edge of the frame or other areas. The key is to work in small lengths at a time, pressing firmly along the edge as you go. If it becomes offline or not lined up properly, tear it, and start over. You do not have to continue with the same overall length at one time.
Keeping things simple ensures that you can keep the blue painters tape working at its best. Invest a few minutes in finding a product that you can trust to provide superior results for you. Then, use that brand every time. When you do this, you can minimize the amount of time it takes for you to apply it.
