Tara Dennis relies on Scotch-Blue™
Painter's Tape to give all her painting
jobs a professional edge.
H
as this DIY painting scenario ever happened to you?
You pored for hours over colour charts, bought the
best materials and worked hard to correctly prepare
the surface.
.. only to have it ruined by crooked lines,
messy edges, accidental brush strokes and paint drips. Why?
Because you tried to paint the edges by hand or used a poor
quality masking tape.
“You invest so much time, money and energy in your painting, it’s
absolutely devastating when it goes wrong,” says Tara. So, because
the job means so much to you - and there’s nothing better than
perfect and professional results - it’s essential to get clean straight
edges and razor-sharp lines by masking with the best quality tape
available: Scotch-Blue™ Painter's Tape from 3M.
“We’ve all tried to paint the edges by hand: it just
doesn’t work," continues Tara. “And when inferior tapes
bleed, break and ruin surfaces, it’s so frustrating and
disappointing," she adds. “Scotch-Blue Painter’s Tape
will give you the perfect result the first time round,” says
Tara who, like you, doesn’t have time to re-paint a less
than perfect job. For Tara, creating beautiful rooms is
all in a day’s work. And because her painted edges have
to be clean and sharp right to every corner, ledge, stair,
- q m .
window trim and skirting board, she relies on Scotch-Blue™
Painter’s Tape.
So what sets Scotch-Blue™ Painter's Tape apart from regular
masking tape? 3M's adhesive technology has created a superior
tape that is easy to apply and peels off just as easily. Importantly,
it removes without tearing, lifting off paintwork, or leaving a sticky
residue. So, like Tara, get the job right first time, every time, by
preparing your edges with Scotch-Blue™ Painter's Tape when
you paint around the home.
