Use to have that problem. There was a tip on the site in which someone suggested to cut a thin strip off the edge of the tape before applying. I keep all my tapes just laying on their sides and I think it helps to get a thin smooth edge back.
Keep on modeling!
All the best,

Right! After burnishing, brushing a thin coat of clear on the edge of the tape will seal it. Let it dry completely before overcoating your color.
Gimme a pigfoot, and a bottle of beer...
I usually only brush small items and pick out details.
But a thicker coat will stay wetter longer, and could work under the edge of a thin tape like Tamiya. You could try to brush a thin coat of clear on the edge first to seal it.
8 out of 10 times when I mask , paint seeps through even when I burnish the tape well. Is it because I brush paint which is thicker? When I airbrush the results are better but if I lay down too thick paint it also seeps through. I use Tamiya masking tape.
