    I'm halfway through painting the kitchen,opposite walls dark and pale shaded colors.
    I've painted the darker blue into the internal corners by hand but not happy with the finished line tbh.
    Never seen it being done but how would the pros go about getting a perfect line?(Apart from giving up the booze for a prolonged period:D)

    Never heard of blue or frog tape, have masking-taped up all sockets and stuff but I find it sticks if not removed the next day and can leave blotches if not properly stuck down.
    Would the tapes give me a straiht line though?
