Remove the tape while the paint is still wet for the best results. Depending on what FrogTape® product you use, check how long your tape can stay up. Pull the tape off slowly at a 45-degree angle. If you hear ripping noises, it means you're going too fast.
How long after painting do you remove FrogTape?
FrogTape® Multi-Surface painter's tape will come off without leaving a residue from most surfaces for up to 21 days (7 days in direct sun before you paint). We recommend that you remove masking tape immediately after you are finished painting to reduce the risk of tearing fresh paint.
Should you let paint fully dry before removing tape?
Wait until the paint is dry to the touch before removing the tape. Check the paint can for the manufacturer's dry times. Use a putty knife or razor blade to score along the edge of the tape. This prevents paint from being pulled up with the tape and from cracking along the paint line.
