Picture this: you've just painted your dream stripe design on your bedroom walls, marking the lines with painter's tape for crisp, sharp edges. Color complete, you go to remove it, carefully pulling it away from the wall with a steady hand; but alas, your paint has bled beneath the tape, leaving a smudged line in its wake.
We've all been there, and we can all universally agree there's no painting mishap more frustrating. The question is, how do you remove painter's tape properly to avoid wicking? No matter how precisely you apply your paint or how carefully you remove the tape afterward, somehow, smudged lines seem unavoidable.
