Afternoon everyone, this is an issue that has plagued my life for years, it's really frustrating as I don't know what I'm doing wrong
When I'm applying masking tape to my walls to paint the skirting, I start to lay the tape down, but when I go re-adjust the tape it's pulling the backing colour coat off with it underneath and I don't know why (I usually put two coats of dulux matt as a colour coat)
I've tried a range of tapes from no-names (with excellent reviews) through to green and yellow frog tape, yet they all give me the same result - peeled backing paint!
I'm wondering whether the colour coat isn't adhering to the undercoat - I'm using this-

What do you use as a backing/primer? My walls are awful green and I'm using light colours
Any help will seriously be appreciated
