When painting textured walls how do you stop the paint bleeding under the tape into the taped off areas?

Yes!When painting textured walls how do you stop the paint bleeding under the tape into the taped off areas?
is very hard to not to go under the tape ,even pain stores tells or trying to sell u this expensive masking tapes [green,and blue] sometimes u still get pain under,i used tape to cover the baseboars just to roll the walls and not get so much over spray from the roll over,remove the tape and cut in the baseboars,or touch up.any way u will spend time in cleaning the baseboars,and putting the tape over ,must well pain it tooWhen painting textured walls how do you stop the paint bleeding under the tape into the taped off areas?
if you take a little clear varnish and brush it on the edge of the edge of the tape once it's on the wall and let it dry,then paint your walls. you will have a nice clean line when you pull the tape off. I've been painting 15+ years and a old timer taught me that trick. works like a charm.
you will have to use multiple thin lays so that there is no paint to drip. a straight edge as a guide and a paint pad will also give a straight line.
consider spraying several coats
