When setting up for a painting project, you’re most likely to reach for a masking tape to ensure you’re left with straight edges and connected surfaces like the ceiling, neighbouring walls or skirting boards are protected. But despite masking tape’s popularity, it’s not always the best tool for the job and there are alternative (and perhaps better) ways how to paint edges and skirting boards alike.
For one, masking tape (like any tape) runs out which means you have to keep re-purchasing it. Wouldn’t it be better to buy a single tool once and never have to worry about it again, saving yourself money in the process? Or better yet, use something that you already own?
