Well, I've finished redecorating the toilet. Correction, I would have finished redecorating the toilet if the masking tape hadn't peeled off the very nice paint it was put there to protect.
Things I have now learned about masking tape:
- Use a low stick masking tape (usually blue)
- Apply in short lengths, no longer than 2 feet (60cm or so)
- Press down very hard (no bubbles or creases that would allow the paint to 'wick' underneath.
- Wait until paint is dry to remove masking tape.
- Pull the tape off in a slow, continuous motion at a ninety-degree angle to the painted surface. The tape will "cut" the paint in a clean line.
Is it possible to break all those rules you ask? Pretty much. So in a few days I will sand back a few areas and then touch them up and then the toilet will be as good as new...haha...more likely...it'll do!
Live and learn...and onto the laundry. I wonder what wonderful lessons I will learn in the next room.
A classic 'wassap' post! and now for that Hood review... ;-)
