The wife has been doing some projects in the house and is about going
mad. We have eggshell paint on plaster walls and when she paints and
uses "painter's tape," the the tape pulls the paint off the wall.

She'd like to know if there is a better alternative, if she should
look for a particular brand, or if there is something else to help
with the issue.

TIA,
Dave

It may help to work quickly. Put the tape up, paint and take the tape down
within an hour or less.



I would not tape new paint for at least a couple of days. Even then,
tape needs to be removed as soon as possible and before the paint dries.
Also important is to pull the tape back on itself when removing it -
don't pull it straight out from the surface.
