3 ways to minimise this: - Remove the mask when the paint has dried, but not fully hardened
- Run the tip of your knife lightly around the edge of the mask to score a "break line" in the paint before removing the mask.
- When removing the mask, pull it back over itself at a sharp angle - don't pull it straight up.
