When I use masking tape on a painting, I always tape it to my clothing first - the fibers cling to the tape and lower the tackiness. <BR/><BR/>Also, I made a mahl stick with dowelling and glued an eraser (meant to fit over a pencil, which I purchased in a package of four for a dollar) over the end. Super cheap, but I sometimes wonder why I bothered with the eraser on the end given that I usually rest the side of the mahl stick on the edge of the canvas.Laurel Alanna McBrinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08485623472049393176noreply@blogger.com
