Any printable caulking will work. GE makes a very good product. The cheapest paintable caulking is the least best to use.The trick here is you wipe most of it off and rub the tape edge down extra well. But if you add the caulking price to the the tape you might as well buy the more expensive frog tape green. Some instances you may want to add the caulk to taped areas like tile grout. Then the price is worth doing the job right. Also for small areas you can use two layers of the best tape. I can't say I have ever needed more than one layer of frog green to do the job. But in the good old days we'd just double layer the tape.
I merely brush on a little "deep base", untinted paint to seal the edge of the tape. clear paint tends to leave less of a ridge at the edge of the tape, which might show.
Great video, this is very helpful! If Tower isn't easily available to me, are there any other more mainstream caulking brands that you'd recommend? Thank you!
Hi. Do you have any tips on how to get the tape off a bathroom cabinet. Painters did a horrible job in cut-ins. The cabinet is wood color and paint is white! Thank you!
How long is the tape workable if caulked? IE, if I'm spraying two coats of finish color, is it going to peel the paint if I don't remove and retape between coats?
That’s a cool trick brother, however I always end up with jobs that don’t allow for the time to call my tape. Is there another method that would do similar except faster, also when I pull up my tape it sticks and leaves little pieces Al over the place. Is there a method to stop that as well
Ok now you're giving away the trade secrets lol. I use this when customers pick different colors on curved ceiling to wall or where curved wall corners meet. The problem is customers watch vids like yours and then try to micro manage what we're doing like they're experts. But I like the vids.
You know. I'll admit it's not a terrible idea as long as it doesn't show through the paint. However it seems like a redundant step and an extra expense. Especially when taping off entire ceiling/wall seams /Trim etc
just had a customer try and tell me how to run my business and doesnt want me to tape the stained trim. LOL i not listening maybe ill just educated these clowns
I use regular tape never have bleeds on my paint job you just need to know how to use the tape right way never tape caulk I think it stupid and a waste of time and money materials....
Thank you!
another tip is to run a wet rag over the frog tape and let the glue swell first before painting
Didn't hear about that. Is it working good?
Good tip
Thanks, this will make finishing the inside of my house sooo much easier....
Glad to help Judy
That green frog tape is the bomb! I love it, I used to never tape anything, but I realized that was slowing me down
My go too
A true professional. Thanks Chris!
Thanks Danny
Absolutely. I don't know id do without this guy.
The only problem I found with green frog tape is it sometimes takes paint off the wall.
Oh wow! Fantastic!!!!

Not a fan of GE
After trim is painted I then tape and run a light coat of trim paint over tape and that seals. Then two coats of wall paint. Works great!
Correct answer, seal the void with the same color. This is how we do it.
😮 genius
Nice
wowza
LOL
I use this method it works well but sometimes the paint dries darker on the caulk and spoils the job.

get it from paintlifesupply.com Big Stretch is a great option
I do one super light coat just to seal the tape edge. Let dry Then go over with 2 normal coats. Similar to what he is doing here.
Thats works Jreal

You could also paint white first against the tape so the bleeding looks white. Color coat doesn't bleed because the white already filled the void.
OK
In the Uk everything is matt, vinyl matt guessing you wouldn't recommend?
Tower Accelerator from paintlifesupply.com
How long can you wait to pull the tape tho? If you let the caulk and the paint fully dry will it tear the paint when you pull the tape?
Before it dries

You have to pull it before the caulking and paint dry
Does it work on cinder block going accross
yes
Brazil
Yep
Does anyone know what the Tower accelerated caulk is called in the United Kingdom or what would be the equivalent of it over here?
I do not think Tower is in Europe

What tape you using?
@@Idahopainter scotch blue painters tape usually.
This guy has good metabolism. Most painters have pot belly
Thanks
I tried caulking the tape and when I removed the tape while the paint was wet it left a ridge where the edge of the tape was. Too much Caulk?
You need to remove all the caulking
After you applied tape paint the edge the color of the wall. And then pink then you will have no bleed through
Nice
