FrogTape Painter’s Masking Tapes
All FrogTape painter’s tapes are treated with patented PaintBlock Technology, a super-absorbent polymer that reacts with the water in emulsion paint and instantly gels to form a micro-barrier. It seals the edges of the tape, preventing paint bleed and the need for touch-ups. The results are crisp, clean paint lines each time.
The signature recyclable and reusable FrogTape canister protects your tape edge not only against moisture, but nicks and dents that can ruin the tape edge during storage.

Clean Surface & Let DrySand then clean the area you will be masking and painting before you tape to make sure the surface is dust free. Use a damp sponge and a few drops of washing up liquid mixed in a bucket of warm water. Let surface dry completely before applying tape. | Tape in 30-60cm SectionsTape any areas on your surface you want to keep paint-free. For best results, tape in 30-60cm sections to avoid stretching the tape. | Burnish Tape’s EdgeBurnish the tape’s edge with a plastic tool like a putty knife or credit card to ensure the tape is completely flush with the surface you will be painting. | Remove Tape When Paint is WetFor best results, remove the tape while the paint is still wet, making sure to slowly pull at a 45 degree angle. |

This stuff is absolutely brilliant. I did a full living room with matt emulsion, two different colours and it didnt take any paint off when removing. I was told by a pro decorater that the green one is for matt and gloss, while the yellow is more suitable for silk emulsion. Great stuff
Frog tape is by far the best tape to use for paint & decorating will definitely buy again.
Work better than I thought. Due to reviews, nervous about using on emulsion but it’s worked fine. Did use it on gloss door edge and it took my gloss off but the edge is good and better than if done by hand.
Yes it’s a bit expensive, but I ended up buying three rolls because it’s so good. It does give perfect, straight, lines as long as not trying to mask a rough edge. I had no problems removing it. It did expose weaker old paint, which sometimes came off, but that wasn’t the tape’s fault. Paint doesn’t get under, it doesn’t get soggy, and it peals off easily if careful. Great tape.
Just pay the extra and get this masking tape. Miles better than the cheap stuff.
This tape is a must when decorating and painting. The paint block shield is incredible and it honestly does an amazing job! Easy to apply, blocks paint and easy to remove. Leaves no tacky mess either.
I had 64 small windows to rub down and paint. I spend a hour or so masking up with Frog Tape – The Painting was a breeze and the tape came off easily, left straight lines and saved hours of Back Breaking `Cutting-i
If you are not a good painter like me it’s amazing not a drop of paint on the carpe
I don’t know if premium masking tape was a thing, but ever since trying Frog Tape I’m convinced it’s a far better product. For all I know other brands have improved, I’m happy to pay for something I know will work. And if you are used to using tape from your local pound shop, this is a revelation. It did take off some paint from the ceiling, but since I always intended to repaint the ceiling that didn’t bother me, and there is the delicate stuff if you want that instead. Only thing I would advise is to check the width, and make sure you’re getting the tape you want.
Easy to use. Much better value than cheaper versions that are not easy to use. Thank you
Best frog tape to buy in my opinion and I do a lot of painting.
This was superb with no paint leaking through compared to others we’ve used. Easy to use but you do need to be careful as it can and will peel some of your paint if you apply it over previously painted areas.
Managed to get a really nice professional finish with this – despite being a very amateur painter!
Highly recommended for doing a paint feature wall.
Love this, wish I’d have used this before. Very easy to put on the wall or ceiling. I used it in sections that overlapped as recommended, it sticks well and comes off like a dream (whilst paint is still wet) I did have slight bleeding in a couple of places but being the first time I used it maybe I didn’t push it down hard enough as I was worried about the paintwork underneath. I needn’t have worried!
Works well, haven’t really had chance to test out the stretching properties as the items I was painting were too small, keeps great sharp lines when spray painting
This is a really excellent product. I have used various masking tapes over the years and this is upped the game massively. Easy to apply, easy to peel off. It allows clean lines which don’t bleed and when you take it off it doesn’t take off whatever it was stuck to. I won’t use another masking tape after this.
The only the thing I would recommend is I was using chalk paint and when I put it on for when I wanted to do wood stain area it pulled off the paint in areas – but would still recommend, easy to use and it has stretch
A great tape for painting, gives clean and sharp lines. Easy to remove with very little damage
Great product, once used a cheap brand and ruined the whole paint job! Will never us another brand again, despite the price I would say it’s worth every penny!
Really like this because I’m pants at cutting in or actually any decorating so this really helped.
I’m not normally one for leaving reviews and was dreading attempting painting lines across my walls and ceiling, but this tape is superb. The lines are arrow straight and no paint seepage. If you need to paint a straight line this tape is a must. Just make sure you follow the instructions. I did a little bit of tape at a time and removed it straight away.
Bought it to tape up my frog but turns out it’s masking tape. Amazing coincidence that I was about to do some decorating. Best stuff out there for masking. Untried on frogs.
Loved this tape. So much better than masking tape I’ve used previously
Good product but was using to Mark lines out on a wall and it ran out after the second small wall and only taped them half way up was disappointed
Much nicer to use than the cheap alternatives. Comes off roll nicely and leaves a lovely sharp line.
Started painting our hallway and used some existing but old masking tape which was alright but was tearing paint off the ceiling when removing and had a reasonable amount of paint bleeding through.
Frog tape eliminates both issues. As long as you’re careful when applying it you get very little to no bleedthrough and it comes off a lot easier than the masking tape and has left the ceiling paint in place.
Used it for the first time when painting my cloakroom… it was excellent. I followed the instructions and found it very easy to place on a good surface and found no seepage of paint when removed.
Impressed! Never done any DIY or painting before! Worked really well, only a few touch ups needed. No bleeding at all. Ensure you remove it while the paint is still wet for perfect lines!
Durable, easy to apply and doesn’t leave any residue when removed. I prefer this product to many of the similar masking products on the market. Consistently good, a DIY must!
Used this for cutting in from wall to ceiling when painting our bedroom, really good perfect lines and peels off easily. To note if you use cheap emulsion or a emulsion/water primer it does/can pull off the paint it’s fairly strong. I always use a pre made primer which is thick and a decent Matt/silk paint no problems.
Excellent product which is easy to apply and remove after use. It is more expensive than cheaper masking tapes but is worth paying extra as it is stronger and leaves a straighter line after painting.
It sticks rather well with minimal paint bleed, though you’re best to get a good run at it rather than taping small sections. The tape sticks really well, but only if it’s nice clean and completely dry surfaces. I made the mistake of taping freshly painted walls (leaving after 3 full days) only to find that it took the paint with it upon removal. I later tried the yellow version to find the same result. Anyways, after much trial and error I found that the green tape is great for sectioning off your skirtings, then using basic masking tape on top of the skirtings (after 48hrs) to then do your walls. Best of luck, DIYers!
This is great tape. The adhesion is sticky enough to stay in place while working but not so sticky that you can’t pull it off easily. It does just come straight back off without leaving any glue behind. I don’t try and stretch it or I don’t think it would work as well keeping a clean edge while painting and there is not so much give in the tape that a stretch would happen where I wouldn’t want it. I won’t be going back to masking tape!
Very useful product. Much better than standard masking tape. I have been using this a lot recently to mask edges of window frames I have been varnishing. Goes on easily, and pulls off without a problem – and main benefit is that paint & varnish don’t seem to stick to it – even when leaving paint/varnish to dry for much longer than I would risk with normal masking tape, when frog taped peeled off it leaves a good, sharp, clean line.
Recommended.
Tips:
Take your time putting on the tape, dont rush it or it will show after painting.
Tear the tape in small strips such as 8-10 inches, I know this seems stupid but if you tear the tape in 18-24 inch lengths it is a lot harder to apply and keep straight. Its a few more minutes but definitely worth it.
Peel off tape immediately after painting as the paint can dry on the tape and when you peel it, it can pull the paint.
I put tape on the ceiling as well and a little bit of paint came off but I just touched it up with white emulsion.
Well impressed with this tape! First masking tape I’ve ever bought where I was so impressed I wrote a review 😀
Very satisfying pulling it away at the end and seeing the really sharp, clean lines.
As a bit of a perfectionist in the decorating area I had great difficulty getting straight lines near the edges on the ceilings. I used masking tape and rulers initially and it was just a waste of time. I then did a bit of research and found frog tape. I was a bit dubious at first as I was worried it would pull the paint away but thought ill just give it a go. I’m so glad I did, I was pleasantly surprised by the how good it was. Worth every penny in my opinion. My bathroom has near perfect lines and no paint was pulled off when removing the tape. Brilliant product.
Great product much better than masking tape, no bleeding and very strong but also peels off easily when you nee it to. I definitely recommend i
Brought a professional finish to the painting of my coving. Used to hate trying to follow the line by hand and always made a mess. Fixed the tape about 1/8″ below the coving and painted it not worrying when my brush overlapped the tape. Left it about 10 mins and then peeled it off downwards and across. Didn’t pull any of the wall paint off underneath. Same process for painting the wall only the other way round. Fantastic product.
The old man is on a painting mission and I bought his in bulk. He finds it very easy to use and makes life a whole lot easier. One lesson he did learn though was that the green one needs to be taking of the coving quickly IF used on that.
At first I thought this was just clever marketing and my 50p masking tape could do the same job – was wrong. I needed to tape off various bits off a wall to do a geometric style painting job. The lines we’re crisp with no paint bleed which I got with the masking tape a few days earlier. I was even asked if it was wallpaper when the job was done, which shows the quality of the line it leaves.
I’ll be using this for all painting jobs moving forward. Worth the money for a job done right first time.
I was recommended Frog Tape by someone who works as a painter & decorator. They said the higher price was worth every penny, and they were correct. I have such beautiful clean lines around the chimney breast of my lounge.
Always used masking tape for paint lines but could not find any that was actually as good as I had before and a friend of mine who is a painter and decorated told me about this frog tape.
I was a little apprehensive as it is expensive but it’s got to be the best I’ve used and it really does pull away nicely with no tearing of the paint on the wall!
Actually really good good quality. Friend suggested I didn’t there was a difference of house the output becomes. Used other tapes and it true when removing it rips paint. Also after painting peal of early don’t leave it for nigh
It does give a straight line, but does leave some sologges
Use this tape whenever I’m painting. So easy to use, gives a smooth line and when it comes to removing the tape it leaves no sticky gunk behind….perfect.
Excellent, Easy to use for the design we wanted. Fast delivery
Clean lines and no bleeding what so ever, so exactly what we needed.
The roll was covered in fine dust on arrival but didn’t cause any problems to the use or adhesive ness of the product.
The tape could be stretched if needed and we were able to move positions with it if we changed our minds.
Would highly recommend over other products.
Good product, sticks well but did take the paint off with it!
You can tell the quality straight away. It went onto a wall I’d repainted a few days before and I used a small wallpaper roller to get as good a seal as possible. We removed the tape 5 – 10 mins after painting. It came off really well leaving a sharp line and no annoying tearing like the cheap stuff does. Of our geometric wall paint there are just two small areas of bleed which is a shame, but it could have been a slight blemish on the wall.
Highly recommended.
Used this on a variety of surfaces and I know understand which ones are perfect to put on and take off and those to avoid:
Good:
Matt walls
Skirting boards
Other wood surfaces
Bad:
Walls that use bathroom paint / kitchen paint (those that are classed as ‘easy to wipe’ – all these surfaces, the tape tears the paint off the walls and on occassions will not stay stuck to the walls so you end up painting through the bleed
Wallpaper – depends on the thickness
I deducted the one star for using this on the bathroom walls (where edge meets ceiling) and it made a complete mess by taking the paint off – so I had to then alter and put the tape on the ceiling to paint the walls again where the tape ripped the paint!!
Overall a good buy
I have just redecorated my flat and used this product throughout the project. It done exactly as I expected it too, very adhesive great for doing skirtings and keeping your carpets paint free. I went through many roles and had no issues with any of them. They were easy to apply and also to take off, didn’t take any paint or did it leave a sticky residue behind on the surfaces i applied it to (Wood, Walls , doors and Carpets). I would defiantly recommend.
Short review – Used to create a two tone painted wall. Went on very easily. Thickness we bought was perfect for rolling over lines and removed quite easily. If fixing be sure to use a firm hand to ensure upon tape removal none has sneaked into small gaps uve left.
Highly Recommend if want accuracy!
The Frogtape is a good product however if You are using it the pain on wallpaper lining,it is very easy to apply, however on removing it some off the paint actually comes up off the wallpaper lining.Having to redo and bits it again.It is still a good product though,I have also tried on paining a concrete wall and wood and works perfectly.
great product, worked a treat.
did pull afew bits of paint off but I think that was due to old paint/plaster.
This stuff is really good. Easy to use and tears easily. Would by this again.
You don’t get seepage under this tape. Good adherence, easy to use, removes easily. Recommended
Easy to use, easy to tear which is what I wanted, easy to peel off. You’ve found what you’re looking for right here. Waste no more time and crack on with the painting.
I use this for painting, but not as the manufacturers intended. I do gouache and airbrush paintings on heavyweight paper and use this to hold the paper securely in place on a large drawing board, for which it is superb as it eventually comes away without damaging the paper. I have in the past used it for masking whilst house decorating and can verify that is does an excellent job of that too.
Always used masking tape, never will I ever again, this stuff is the bomb, placed right when painting, glossing skirtings ect, cuts down painting time loads and actually makes it enjoyable. I did drip paint onto the tape multiple times and it didn’t seep through, when initially placing the tape I did think it didn’t feel thick enough so did worry but when removed, lines were straight nothing was ruined! And it looked like I knew what I was actually doing! Brilliant stuff will always use this now
Amazing. Done the job I wanted it for. Which was to experiment and do some pattern painting on a wall. It stuck fine doesn’t seap through. But make sure when you stick it down run ur hands across its not a miracle worker you have to press over with your hand or some edges won’t stick itself. The tape was wider than I expected but that’s because I didn’t look at sizing. However it created a great look so I’m happy. You get alot. With the patter I did I then did it on another large wall and had enough. So a 4mtre long wall and this 1 metre wall. (in width). Good price aswell
Best tape to use when decorating, I did the lockdown triangles and some strips in the bathroom, came out great. Make sure to remove when paint is still wet.
Used this stuff for years. Not the cheapest, but high quality and still pretty good value. I’ve used enough c**p masking tape in my time to appreciate the difference. Strong enough to do the job, but easy to tear lengths off when you’re laying it. Always a nice clean edge.
I had a lot of skirting boards and facings to paint so bought a lot of this tape. Quite easy to work with, but on a (very) few occasions when I removed it, it took some of the paint off the wall as well. It was a nuisance as I then had to refresh the paint on the wall!
Had some standard masking tape that would not for the love of god stick to the surface (while laminate top) but this stuff was brill, stuck well, didn’t allow any bleed of silicone (black silicone onto a white top is risky, and visible)
Take worked wonders, and peeled off with relative ease
Recomended
wish I’d discovered this before painting two other rooms with regular masking tape! unlike that stuff this frog tape maintains clear lines with no fraying underneath. it’s very satisfying to pull it off
I found this very difficult to remove when trying to create a geometric wall. Took an awful lot of paint off even though it was removed straight away. There was no bleeds and very neat lines but wasn’t worth all the extra touch bits i had to do
its easy enough. it is a bit of a pain for ripping fdow the center (hence minus a star) but apart from that it does the job
This tape does the job well. It sticks as it should to all surfaces I’ve tried and is easy enough to remove. Can’t miss it either with its bright green colour.
It comes in a very nice plastic case, which does seem to be a bit excessive for a roll of masking tape and possibly adds to the price.
This is the only downside to the tape. It is a little pricey. Having said that, I couldn’t find it cheaper and will probably buy it again next time I have a painting job to do.
Didn’t have any problems with this tape. You do have to get a good seal to avoid paint bleed, I found this out by trial and error! It suggests removing when the paint is wet which worked well. I was generally pleased with the result as I am usually a bit of a duffer with things like this.
First time I have used Frog tape and wow was I impressed! Easy to apply with just the right adhesion. Most importantly though it gave a perfect clean edge when removed. Can’t fault it.
I purchased this as part of a remodel of my bedroom and I initially purchased some painters tape from a nearby DIY store and it led to paint coming off the walls. I was recommended to try frog tape and was initially suspicious about it’s claims but it was by the best product I purchased. Strong adhesion, easy to peel and the result was strong clear lines. If you have concerns about paint peeling then it’s best to purchase this product or the low tack frog tape which I haven’t tried but it’s recommended for delicate walls.
Made my painting project so much easier. I thought at first it was a bit expensive for a bit of tape but oh did it give great results, easy to apply and remove and took away the need to have a steady hand when painting skirting boards with carpet still in place.
Will definitely be using again.
I recently painted a featured wall in my sons room using the Frog Tape. I’m so happy the way the tape worked. No mess, easy to remove.
Top Tip: peel before the paint dries completely, because it can be alittle more difficult when removing from dries paint.
I was cutting in and paint looked uneven on ceiling and walls. Was advised to use this and saves allot of time and looks straight.
Straight lines were never my forte when painting; then I discovered Frog Tape. It takes time to set up of course and if you have a very steady hand it’s probably pointless. However my results have made it essential in this household when painting to an edge. GREEN tape onto cured paint, wood or PVC. YELLOW tape if the surface was painted between a couple of days and a couple of weeks ago. Great stuff – forget masking tape for this job.
It’s a good tape. Better than average but has to be removed when the paint is still wet to make sure the wall is not damaged.
Gives a really clean line and doesn’t let paint seep through plus leaves no sticky residue! Remember to peel off before the paint dries so it doesn’t take any paint off with it and removing at a 45 angle really helps! Best tape I could find and have used, I wouldn’t look anywhere else as this is perfect!
Does the job well. However it does sometimes peel paint off. Be careful when peeling off. The angle matters.
Will recommend this product. No runs under tape providing clean edges.
This product is quite expensive but these days you get exactly what you pay for and I did ! ! ! I had read up on this product prior to purchase and using this tape gave me the exact finish I desired. As soon has one coat is dry you can use this low tack tape without the fear of pulling the first coat off.
Brilliant finish
I bought this tape for art purposes. I need to attach my watercolour paper to my art board, but often when I try to remove the masking tape it was tearing the paper.
So, I tried this tape and I’m happy to report that it’s very very sticky but removes cleanly and I’ve had no ripped paper.
I like that it’s got a nice container to keep it in.
My husband has even stolen it a couple of times to do projects on the bodywork of his classic car.
Great tape, will buy agai
Brilliant, used the standard tape on top of a wall just painted with a good quality matt paint over a clean painted previously well painted surface and gloss worked around everything, it came off perfectly and left no marks on the painted wall, clean lines.. Very happy
This product is much better than normal masking tape, protects carpet when going over those skirting boards well and use full for protecting glass etc for the intricate parts, doors etc. Excellent and worth the investme
Liked going yo save a lot of mess when painting the windows
I’d love to give it high marks as it helped us get impeccable edges on the paint. However on the smallest job – doing the resealing of the kitchen counter, it fobbed up so bad, I had a meltdown over it.
Stuck it over the paint which had a week to dry. When we applied the sealant and peeled it off it took all the nice new paint with it. It was horrendous.
Do not put it over your new paint even if week old! It will give you sad!
Otherwise good to use.
I used it for painting a front door with 8 long strips of glass. Four larger strips to the top and Four shorter to the bottom half.
Took me a while to stick it all in place but wow!! well worth it when the paint dries and you take it off. There was no bleed at all and no paint penetrated the tape.
This was the first time I have ever used this and it will not be the last.
I thought I would be using all the tape but it looks like it is still a new roll.
I fully recommend this to any professional painter or DIY’er.
I used this to protect my amtico floor while glossing skirting boards. (Please note that the product states this is meant to be used for EMULSION paint and can have unpredictable results if used with gloss – but i was prepared to take the risk.)
I got a nice neat edge and no paint seemed to seep through. Much better than the masking tape I used the night before!
I will be using this to protect the newly glossed skirting and get a straight edge when emulsioning the walls.
In fact I will, from now on, only ever use this when I come to decorate anything.
Comes in a plastic tub, which at first I thought was unnecessary packaging, but actually it’s good for when I stored it away with the decorating kit and I’m sure it’ll keep the tape from drying out.
I think the green tape is brilliant and wortb paying the extra for (over cheap masking tape) anyway.
Update: having bought (and reviewed) the green multisurface variety, I ordered the yellow tape for newly painted surfaces.
Oh dear. I would never advise anyone to use it on emulsioned walls or ceilings. I was painting a wall so used this on the adjacent wall that had been painted for 3 days and the ceiling that had been painted 10 years.
The tape was on for under an hour.
It took off lots of the paint when I removed it. I could touch up the newly painted adjacent wall because I still had that paint, but try matching paint to a white ceiling that has aged 10 years!! I can not face doing the entire ceiling so will have to live with new whiter patches, so that’s a big disappointment.
I did get a really straight edge though.
So maybe it’s best to use this on edges but then accept you might need to touch up just In from the edge when you peel off the tape.
It’s possible that it’s ok if your room is very warm – mine was quite cold. Id read the hairdryer tip but didn’t think it would be necessary in less than an hour.
Absolutely love this tape, it ensures you get a nice straight edge on all your rooms when it comes to decorating. It is just right when it comes to tack so your not taking pieces of your fresh wall off just get the ceiling done and vice versa.
This tape does have a superb second feature for me though and that is it is ideal for 3D Printer Beds. Alot of people out there are using the 3M Blue tape, however this serves a much better function. Its ideal in terms of tack, its just rough enough to ensure things stick and add PVA Glue Stick and the results are second to none.
Also if you find that some prints your having the tape peel and stick to the bottom a quick rinse under the tap and its gone. Its wide enough to ensure your not using loads of it as well. I envisage this roll will last 2-3 months with regular printing. Definitely worth spending a tad more for the results you get.
Highly Recommended.
I haven’t been incentivised to write this review but I’m sure everyone else says the same thing – why buy any other masking tape. Surely Frog tape has sorted all the old annoying problems with tape – too sticky – destroys what it’s attached to, not sticky enough – falls off or is worse than useless, too weak – tears too easily or tears along the length when your taking it off the roll, too hard – seapage underneath. This has sorted it all and despite there being different varieties for different purposes, this is universal!
With this tape the tackiness is considerably lower so it lifts off easily. I do find it better if doing multiple coats to lift the tape off between each coat so that paint does not dry and form a skin over the tape. Whilst this does use considerably more tape the cost is insignificant compared to the time if the pint cracks.
Buying on amazon is great because price was comparable and meant saving considerable time trekking to my local diy store
I like the product, however the sae of this was incorrect as it showed the box of tape, however when it arrived it is only 1 x roll which the supplier is charging 25 for, this can be purchased less than halve the cost. So ensure to check clearly the actual amount that you’re purchasing. 1 x roll should not cost 25….
Its relatively expensive but is easier to apply and does a better masking job than conventional tape. Be very careful with delicate surfaces though as this Frogtape has a strong adhesive. If you are applying onto a surface that you are not sure about try the version for delicate surfaces instead.
5 stars for actually working as masking tape… lost one star because it comes in a pointless plastic box which is only there to justify the exorbitant price tag. This is EXACTLY the same as the blue decorators tape available in all USA hardware and DIY stores which costs $1.50 a roll. Sadly, in the UK all the other masking tape is utter cr@p so you have to buy this stuff.
It’s similar to masking tape however is designed to not pull off paint when removed, it doesn’t have the sticky thick adhesive/glue.
I used this both above and beneath the skirting around the rooms when we were redecorating and it worked a treat.
You have to make sure the tape it removed at the correct time, ie. before the paint drys/hardens
