My first painting job

[bekasi40]

Hi

Im about to decorate the whole of my house,no wallpapering,just painting.
My question is ,where the wall meets the ceiling these is a kind of strip of tape which seals the wall and ceiling,in places this is peeling off.

Can I just cut this out where its peeling off and fill the gap as suggested by a painter and decorator or is there a different method of doing this,which ever way I want to do a good job without it being a bodge.

any help would be wellcome

Thanks

Hi Beks, the tape has come loose,, take the whole length of tape off and put a new one on. By the time it takes you to cut small loose bits out, it's quicker to renew the whole length. A taper/painter would put a new tape on for you in no time at all, its not a big job. Just sand it down when it's dry, and it's ready to paint.
