What I do here is lay down the line tape (usually the vinyl kind that doesn't wick under). This is the tape that forms the paint line. Then I apply the bulk mask alongside that, but leaving a gap. Then I apply masking tape over the gap.
That way, after spraying, all I need to remove is the tape over the gap, then the tape along the paint line. I can then leave the bulk mask in place over night if necessary since it's not in contact with the wet line.
