Create a statement wall to be proud of:
-
Step 1
Start by protecting your floor using the ScotchBlue™ Pre-taped masking film. As a two-in-one product, it allows you to protect and secure your surfaces whilst you paint. Lay the ScotchBlue™ Masking Tape onto the surface, pressing down as you go to ensure that the protection film is held firmly to edges of your wall, skirting or carpet.
-
Step 2
Decide the location of your wall design using a spirit level to ensure perfectly straight and vertical lines. Apply ScotchBlue™ Edgelock Sharp Lines Masking Tape to avoid paint bleeds. Press tape down firmly using either your fingers or a soft spatula. Be sure to join both edges without any overlapping.
-
Step 3
Start at the edges and corners of the wall with a paint brush, and continue painting from the inside of the masking tape towards the centre of the area to be painted.
Apply the paint in panels of a square metre at a time by using a paint roller in overlapping stokes: vertically, horizontally and to finish, a vertical smoothing stroke without reloading in paint.
-
Step 4
Proceed in the same way for the second coat. ScotchBlue™ Edgelock Sharp Lines Masking Tape can be removed for up to 14 days without residues or tearing.
-
Step 5
Remove the tape at an angle of 45° to cut through the painted surface. The tape doesn't tear, doesn't damage the surface and removes without residue. Leaving you sharp lines, with a perfect finish!
-
Step 6
Allow to dry following the time specified by the paint manufacturer.
