I've always noticed the walls are painted a different colour to the
ceilings and that the change in colour is as far as I could see
to be
perfect. Do these painters have a very steady hand, or is there a
technique?

Masking tape.

Yes, and I've thought of that. But they have to be in and out in
quick
time. A freshly painted wall could take days to dry before masking
tape
could be used. It could rip the paint off the walls when removed.


Emulsion paint that "takes days to dry"?

well i've ripped 18 year old emulsion off the wall with masking tpe.

When using the wrong masking tape.


Er no. The masking tape wasnt even ON the emulsion.


Then it can't have ripped the 18 year old emulsion.

Oh but it can.

It was on some wood. The paint bridged the gap and the paint was
stronger than the paint to plaster bond...


But unless the masking tape was on the paint, that can't have happened.


You are too silly to explain to....
