Masking after painting


Guest

Featured Posts

I'm painting the sides of my boat.

How long should I leave freshly applied paint before being able to put masking tape on to paint another section?

Thanks.

it also depends on what masking tape you are using and where you are painting it. Low tack tape can be used 24-48 hours after a coat, if indoors shaded from the sun. If outdoors, the tape may pull the existing paint if exposed to sunlight quite easily. Normal masking tape must have 3 or 4 days drying minimum before use.
