I am planning to paint our kitchen. I've chosen the color, etc, and yesterday I painted two sample walls -- one in light, one in shadow -- and we like the results well enough to keep going.
But when I pulled off the blue painter's tape, it brought a lot of the paint with it. I'm assuming that the paint didn't adhere well because the paint that's there now was insufficiently deglossed for painting? If so, how would I get a better adherence?
For what it's worth, I used a fairly strong solution of TSP to degloss, which is what my mother always did. Can anyone tell me what might work better?
Thanks!
