Norm’s Notebook: Masking Tape | Workshop Accessories | Tools and Products | This Old House – 1
Of all the specialized masking tapes out there, I use blue painter’s tape more than any other. It won’t leave behind a sticky residue on surfaces if you take it off in time, and it’s easy to see, making it far more versatile than the tan masking tape I grew up with. For instance, I’ve used the inch-wide blue tape on floors to help a client visualize where a kitchen island would be. And I’ve put it on the walls to determine the best size and location for a flat-screen TV in a media room.
Paint is a great way to instill personality into your house. It is possibly the most versatile tool you can use in decorating both the interior and exterior of your home. And while a fresh coat of neutral-toned paint can often give Colorado Springs homes for sale a competitive advantage over the competition, it is imperative that any paint job looks professional and clean. And this means….taping. I know, I know… it’s a cumbersome process that always seems to take way more time than it’s worth. But trust me. Nothing says “buy me” like a professionally painted house. Keeping tight, clean lines makes a surprisingly noticeable difference that will please any buyer’s eye.
