Quick Tip for Painting Doors
Easy
Don't tape your windows!
When I recently painted my front door and back door, I taped all of the windows on the back door – and it was very time consuming. It took forever to tape, and then, because I didn’t tape perfectly in some spots, I had to go back and touch up.
I found it much easier when painting my front door to skip taping the windows. After the door was dry, I went back with some wet paper towels and a razor blade. I found that if I wiped it down first, then scraped it, I could peel the paint off the glass.
The edges looked much cleaner doing it this way. I saved time and money by not using all that tape!

You can also use a razor blade scraper made for that purpose...It is safer and you just replace the blades. They are under $ 3, come with replacement blades...they may even have them at the $ stores.
