We have a 1920s home with plaster walls. We took the wallpaper off,
scraped the wallpaper paste, and washed with TSP. It did not look like
the walls had ever been painted. We then compounded the cracks,
sanded, and washed with water. Then we applied Behr latex primer and
two coats of Behr latex paint. It looks great, but when we tape
between ceiling and wall, say, some of the paint comes off with the
tape. HELP! What can we do about this?


Don't use tape. It's a crutch and the sooner you learn to cut in
without it, the better. I could show you how to cut in in five minutes
so that you'd never want to use tape again, but it's tough to describe.
A little practice goes a long way.

I know how to cut in a nice straight line, just like I know how to walk
a tightrope. Doesn't mean I can do it. Some of us were born "wobbly" and
can't be cured. )
