What Causes Paint Bleed Under Masking Tape and How Do You Stop It?

Paint bleeds when it creeps under the tape edge. This is often caused by poor adhesion, a rough surface, or a tape with a crepe backing on an application needing a fine line.

Use a thin, flat backed tape, press the edge down firmly, and choose a tape suited to your paint or coating.

Hadleigh stocks flatback and polyester masking tapes for sharp edges.
