you should NOT let it dry for that long actually some recommend removing when stripes a finished painting and some wait just until the paint is almost dry.......better luck next time!!

i painted stripes on a wall...let it dry for a week and a half, then took tape off...6 of my stripes the tape rip paint off wALL...also tape bottom of border and rip some of border off...and i was using the delicate tape...i think the tape does't work...it ruin my nice job i did..that is very aggrivating you spend so much time striping and have the tape ruin it...i woundn't recommend it to anyone...

Painter´s tape can be expensive. You can still use masking tape, just make sure it is paper-backed and not plastic coated. Peel off strips, and holding the sticky side towards you, lightly press it against your clothes. It will lose some of its stickiness and be unlikely to peel off paint when removed from the walls.
