What is a reasonable drying time for wall paint before using edging tape?

share

I’m using good paint. It’s the Manor Hall paint that can be used on wood, metal or concrete. It is the eggshell finish. I want to paint the woodwork with the same kind of paint, darker shade,only in semi-gloss. I don’t want to damage the wall paint with the edging tape.

  1. 12 hours minimum, 24 hours for better results. If possible avoid using tape on the wall and cut-in with a brush, by hand. With a little practice and a steady hand very little tapping is needed.

    If you use a tape for delicate surfaces this time can be cut in half, usually. Only problem is this type of masking tape won't stick very well.
