Simply allowing them to air dry for a week or more is sufficient. If this is not possible, run the garment through a clothes dryer for 40 minutes on high setting to accelerate curing. When using the Fluids for hard edge taping techniques, there are some specific techniques that will help yield the cleanest line possible. First, the selection of tape is an important consideration. Tapes with high tack may cause lifting of lower layers of paint.
Lower tack masking tapes used in household and automotive painting are quite useful.
It may be beneficial to condition tape to reduce the tack by adhering it to and removing it from a clean surface prior to use. A problem often encountered while doing hard edge techniques is that the paint will bleed under the tape, resulting in a jagged edge. A way to avoid this and to maintain a true hard edge, is to apply a clear sealant over the tape before applying color. After the GAC-200 dries, apply the paint. Whenever possible, pull the tape up while the paint is still wet.
