How to Remove Masking Tape After Painting
- 1). Allow the paint to set up for 45 minutes to an hour before you try to take off the tape.
- 2). Run the edge of the razorblade lightly on the seam between the painted edge and the masking tape to create a clean cut between the tape and the paint.
- 3). Peel back the masking tape at a 45-degree angle to the wall so you're peeling the tape against itself.
