I had to texture the sheetrock in my bathroom b/c it wasn't prepared correctly. I want to paint stripes now. I am scared that I will put the tape down and begin painting: then when it is dry and I remove the paint, it would've "bleeded" under the tape b/c the tape is not firmly pressed down into all the grooves and cracks of the texture.

My painter uses a brayer but his trick is to smooth a small bead of clear caulk along the tape. It seals out the bleed under and gives an exceptionally straight line.

I have found that a small whisk broom works well, especially if you put the tape down a bit at a time using the broom to "push" the tape down into crevices and raised portions.

You own the tools you need; your fingers and fingernails, the only best way. Even after you try everything elce you still need to go over it by hand.
