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

You're waiting too long. Pull the tape with the paint wet.

i wondered if they meant it was pulling the paint they stuck the tape to
off the wall. that happened to me a time or two. Then i learned to cut
in without tape.

Finding a good brush that will cut in and learning how to cut in is the
secret. I can cut in stuff faster than people can tape and paint and pull
tape and fix the boo boos. The trick is keeping the brush hidden so that
someone else doesn't use it and smoosh it all up or leave it all full of
paint for a week and ruin it.
