Finally Removed Masking Tapes! - My Painting Project

I've painted kitchen cabinets these days. Last night, I finally removed masking tapes from the cabinets. I think these look so fresh compared to before painting. I know I still need to deal with the dated fluorescent kitchen light box sooner or later... Anyway, I should wait one more week to dry the paints completely before putting kitchen items in these.

If truth be told I am still painting a lot of cabinet doors. I hope I will finish it in a few days.

I used three rolls of masking tapes (two Frog Tape and one 3M Scotch-Blue 2090) for my painting project. According to Amazon, Frog Tape will remove cleanly from most surfaces for up to 21 days and seven days in direct sunlight. On the other hand, 3M Scotch-Blue 2090 will remove cleanly without adhesive transfer or surface damage for up to 14 days-even in direct sunlight. I removed both tapes in a week, so I don't have any problem, but Frog Tape was slightly easier to remove. :)
