For my first attempt at painting book edges, I’m really happy with how it went. There are some things I’ll do differently next time, though. Next time, I will wait at least 24 hours for it to fully dry before I even try removing the tape. Also, any excess tape, I will fold onto the outside of the cover, not the inside. The main thing I will do differently is to do a thinner coat of paint. I had already heard that it works best with a thin coat of paint, so that’s what I tried to do, but there are some places where the paint is too thick, and is coming off the pages, so next time I will do an even thinner coat and see if that makes a difference.
