This is a common problem as corners are often not really square! The best way to tackle this is to sand the corner really well with a square Dynamic sanding sponge (making sure to sand both sides evenly). This will help to square up the corner. After you have wiped down the corner with a tack cloth, paint the wall with the lightest color first in such a way the the corner where your two colors will meet is well covered. After letting the light colored wall dry for at least 24 hours, use Dynamic EdgeWise tape to make a straight line. Tack the tape first at the top of the wall and reel off enough tape to go all the way to the floor. Holding the tape tightly, try and tack it next at the floor so that the tension keeps it straight. Once you are satisfied that your tape line is straight, run your hand over the length of the tape to give your first color the protection it needs from your second darker color. Paint, then wait 24 hours to remove the tape. |
