the skills are seriously so sharp 🔪

I work as a painter. I have a few other tips for you. First, use blue painters tape or frog tape. Not regular green or the other colours, definitely never white masking tape. It has to be the high end frog-brand green tape or the royal blue generic tape. Generally speaking, masking tape is colour coded. Different colours use different glues, some stick longer/stronger/weaker, or they dry out sooner. Blue tape and frog tape are by far the best for this type of work. White is fine on glass, but usually too sticky for painting. The rainbow colours are generally used by contractors and other trades as a post-it, that way they can colour code who left the tape Second, give the first paint colour at least 24 hours to dry before putting tape on it. We mostly think of paint drying, but there is a curing process as well. If you apply tape before the chemical reactions have happened, the paint might stick to the tape better than it does to the wall, and you’ll peel off your fresh paint when you pull off the tape. This goes double if you have fresh plaster or drywall Painting over the tape works, but it’s more time consuming. It’s not how I do it myself. If you use blue/frog tape and are careful with your brushwork it won’t bleed. I usually cut almost up to the tape, then only do one quick pass right on the tape to get it solid, being careful to never brush towards the tape. Bushing towards the tape literally pushes the paint into the seam, it increases the chance of bleeding by more than you would think. Then I roll over it without cutting at all for the second coat (rolling pushes down, not side to side, so it won’t typically bleed, unless you use the wrong tape or don’t squish it down well enough). It often helps to remove the tape as soon as you’re done cutting, but I don’t usually find that strictly necessary if you use the right tape and are careful not to brush into it. I’ve done a rainbow 3D-cube geometric mural on a cinder block wall, the only bleeding was where there were deep pits in the blocks. One 15’ wall had 30 colours on it, it had hundreds of lines that needed masked off. There was no way in hell I was going to go over each of the lines an extra time. It would have added hours to the job, and since the colours were custom mixed in small batches it would have made it a lot more complicated. Sometimes you just need to get it right the first time. That’s where the right tape and a good technique comes in

Thank you for the additional advices! I would say they are especially helpful when you have old pain and you have no idea what color was used there, or it just faded. + sometimes it just doesn't make sense to buy new paint just for the first coat to avoid bleeding(extra useless paint and extra money). There's no way you can use a method in the video for the old paint, but your advices will actually minimise the damage without additional fuss!

Thanks for the comment! Have you tried to slightly wet the frog tape to help the adhesion? I read that it activates the chemical. And if you're painting multiple coats, and waiting perhaps 24 hours between coats, will the tape pull off the paint since it's been there for that long? Also, when you mentioned "I usually cut almost up to the tape..." are you brushing or using a roller almost to the tape but not on it, then you take a roller right over the tape so it's flat against it?

Can you do a video on changing a light fixtures yourself? I love the style of this video.

It would be great to see a video on how to clean up after DIY, specifically how to correctly clean brushes and tools so that paints, stains, and other chemicals are properly disposed of. What can be washed down the sink? What can't? What's the most efficient way to clean up so that water isn't wasted? Love the series - Rochelle is great!

Loving the content with Rochelle! Keep them coming.😊

Genuinely found this so useful! Would love a video on how to mount a mirror and how to custom frame a mirror. Two projects I have avoided for an embarrassingly long amount of time 😅

I really appreciate Rochelle’s clear instructions. I keep seeing and hearing about this hack, but have never had it laid out step by step.

I’ve heard this tip a few different times but this is the only explanation that’s helped it make sense 😅

I just love this series with Rochelle!! 💜

Wow! Best tip ever. Great job on the quick and easy tutorial. Is there anything more frustrating than taking all that effort to tape and the color still bleeds!?! This little hack makes it all worth it 🤗

This is a series i will be able to rewatch when projects come up. THANK YOU ❤

Thank you for sharing these tips with us. Greatly appreciated it. 🤓👍💞

Rochelle hits out of the park again.

you can also use clear varnish if you are painting stuff thats not painted a colour or you dont have the colour you are making the crisp line on

Can you show us how to hang things. Discussing the variety of studs as well as hooks. From hanging a picture frame to hammock chair. As well as for permanent to rental situations. And also, cover how to repair am error (ie: misplaced hole; wide pilot hole, wrong anchor, etc.). I just need confidence to hang my ferns on stucco balcony surfaces. 😭😭😭

One of my favorite restaurants had an interesting color blocking pattern on all of the walls. 2 nice neutral brown-beiges, and then painter tape width and color blue in between them. It looked like they painted the 2 colors, and someone saw the painters tape and thought that was part of it, or really liked it, and then had the blue stripe added later.

Rochelle is such a great addition to the team.

Loving this series! 😊

I loooooove this new series. So helpful!

This tip is amazing! Thank you very much!!!

I used to always get confused by this technique and now all my questions are answered including when to peel off the tape!! Thank you!

Great video!!! More of these, please and thank you.🌺

Love these new videos with Rochelle! 😊

So crisp! Looks amazing 😁

Simple and informative format and Rochelle is very likeable. 👍

Owner/painter of a painting company 25 years. When painting..You can make it so that your brush feels just like an extension of your hand. I wrap my hand over the metal base that holds the bristles in place between my pointer finger and thumb I find I have more control over it. where you never have to use tape again. ( for cutting your walls at ceilings and trim etc :) ) As per the best brush to use. I strongly suggest you spend some money on this tool. Not just the cheapest one or what looks best because a great brush helps cut straight lines,smooths feathering and good brushes have softer bristles that can get into every curve. I use the wise grandfather of them all lol … The Purdy! 2 1/2 inch angle brush. I find that size and shape to be the best for different paint jobs :))! And paint … There are many brands of great paints out there to choose from. You just have to avoid cheap paints..the Walmart brand being one they are a waste of time and money because of how often you will need to touch it up or having to buy better paint . The regular line /cost paints at hardware stores or paint shops etc. is just fine I use them most often. the top of the line Benjamin Moore, Sherwin-Williams paints Just aren’t worth the extra money

Please can you do a video on how to wallpaper?

We used this tip. Thank you! It looks so good. I will tag you in when the rest of the room is done 😊

You really know your job. thanks 👍

Damn I wasn’t prepared for the hack but it’s actually so genius!

I agree. This would be so useful!

Your wall's look great, hope I can do mine as nice!

Good one!

Thank you for commenting on the fact that the tape is to be removed while paint is still wet.

That was amazing! Please make a video on how to install shelves

Thanks 👍

cool, learned somting

I would love a video on how to switch out a light fixture 😁

this is amazing, such a perfect line. But im confused by the end, did you just do part of it the other way round? Because you pull the tape off and the darker colour is already underneath??

More Rochelle Pleaseeeeeeeee

👍🏻👍🏻

❤️❤️❤️

❤

Hi there would this work if you use a darker colours on top please?

What color white did you use

Whoop whoop!

You don't need to paint with the body color! I ran a test on a textured wall and painted a perfect line. Going off of @danielleboon1543 comment below and added a few things: 1) Use green frog tape, then use a lightly damped towel and wet the edge of the frog tape to get the chemical in the tape to react. 2) Push down on the tape with a credit card or your finger so there are no gaps or greases in the tape for the paint to seep through. Dry off the tape so it's not wet anymore. 3) Now paint up to the tape but not on your line. So about 1/8" away from the tape approximately. 4) Now take a brush and paint down over the line. You're painting down so you're not pushing the paint up into the tape. Use a light amount of paint. Let dry for about two hours. 5) Now apply your 2nd coat. Use a roller if you prefer. Wait about an hour and peel off the tape at a 45-degree angle. And there you go a perfect line!

Rochelle is the best!

the last two scenes of the tape peeling off is confusing - you must've switch the order of the colours there, right?

I just saw this video because I went to the videos tab on the KZread page. It did not appear to me as a recommendation. As normally all sorry girls vídeos do :/ Very good video :)

Please do how to go from wallpaper to paint!! Either just the seam-work or removing completely!!!

Does anyone happen to know what paint colors were used?

Can you tell me why I struggle breaking drill bits? I'm I just weak?

Can you do a Video on how to work on an old brick wall? I tried to hang a certain rod and Held a big brick in my Hand :(

How to paint a flower mural!!

Make 👏 Rochelle 👏 a 👏 Sorry 👏 Girl 👏

wow, I'm graduating from art school and nobody taught me this LMAO

🤍

Definitely giving old school HGTV vibes, but I’m oddly here for it

I redid my 5 year olds room and WISH I WOULD HAVE SEEN THIS. The racing stripes and sunbeams are definitely not crisp. Im slowly going thu and touching up where the colors blead with a foam brush. It was very disappointing!

FIRSR ❤😂

Love this new series! Love seeing color on the team! Rochelle should have been the 3rd sorry girl. I’m not a fan of Rachel.

Can someone tell me who this is? I haven't watched this channel in a while.

Very helpful. Thanks.
