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.

Tips To Achieve The Sharpest Paint Lines
| | | | |
|---|---|---|---|
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. |

I usually go for the mega cheap, three-for-a-quid, masking tape, and wonder why I get rubbish results. My son saw this geometric wall painting pattern on Tik Tok and wanted to do it. Frog tape had been recommended and so that’s what we used.
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.
Good for the majority of surfaces
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

Fantastic Product, HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!
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.

I’ll never paint without this!
I have used masking tape before that put me off using any! This one though was easy to apply, easy to remove AND left straight edges with no bleed beneath the tape. V happy custome
Best you can ge
If you have any job where getting a crisp clean edge is important then this is the tape you want. Sticks well, wont leak and pulls off cleanly. It’s not cheap but for the important jobs (or the ones you don’t want to spend twice the time tidying up), i’d recommend this.
Great produc
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!
Don't bother with any other masking tape!
I’ve used this tape over the last 3 months worth of DIY projects and I will never use any other masking tape again. This is all you’ll ever want to use again.
Easy to apply and comes away without any residue left behind or damage to the applied surfaces.
I’m by no means a professional painter but this tape OMG this tape is exactly what i needed in my life!! I’ve done 2 rooms with it and as long as you take it off before the paint is fully dry as it advises then its close to perfect. I wouldnt pain without it ever! Got 2 more rooms to go and I’ll be ordering more. It took a roll and a half to do the 2 rooms pictured so it’s a great amount considering all the tiles, cupboards, ceiling and skirting boards i had to go around. Highly recommended

Very good lines
Really good product, had to use a different tape from a well known manufacturer as ran out but really noticed the difference when removing. No bleed and crisp line on Frog tape, the opposite for the other!
Good.
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.
worked grea
great product, worked a treat.
did pull afew bits of paint off but I think that was due to old paint/plaster.
Easy to use, easy to remove
This is great stuff. Have used masking tape before for the same job but this was so much better. When you’ve taken so much time and care with a job it is worthwhile to finish it properly.
Fab, just wish it was a little less expensive
This stuff is really good. Easy to use and tears easily. Would by this again.
Good masking tape
You don’t get seepage under this tape. Good adherence, easy to use, removes easily. Recommended
Spot on (but not a paint spot)
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.
FrogTape Green Multi Surface Painters Masking Tape 36mm x 41.1m great stuff
Always I use frog tape for serious painting jobs. This seemed genuine . Haven’t used it yet but I am sure it will be up to scratch. Just a bit disappointed I had to get it online.
I have not taped any frogs.
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.

Great masking tape
Bought to help mask off areas for painting on a guitar. Really easy to use, sticks nicely and didn’t let the paint seep through. No residue left when taken off, and the case it comes in is handy to keep it stored
Better than normal tape
Does work much better than standard tape, still does leave some bleeding if not careful. Still better to apply lacquer or caulk round edges and wipe down with wet wipe to ensure tight seal and laser straight paint lines
Game change
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
Brillia
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

Great produc
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.
Great tape
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.
Not 100%
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!
Perfect for siliconing my sink :)
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
magic stuff
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
Great tape to use for lines
Good tape for doing the perfect lines, and nice it sticks to the wall. My tip to make sure it doesn’t bleed through is just rub a bit of caulkers product along the edges as this does stop any bleeding. Then just paint over and pull off.
Good stuff but makes extra work
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
The difference between a professional paint job and a mess
I have tried using masking tape to get decent edges when painting before (because I can’t cut-in to save my life) and half the time the tape tore off the paint I was trying to protect and the new paint bled through it. A mate told me about Frog tape and I just tried it. One coat of stain block and two coats of paint and it worked flawlessly. Absolutely fantastic.
Easy peasy Tape a easy
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
Great product and price
Amazing product, wanting to use it for years. Weirdly i thought it would be like celetape but it still like masking tape just sticks to the wall much better and removes leaving no trace. Perfect for edging and creating patterns on walls or canvas.
Fair price also.
Good but quite expensive
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.

Worked fine
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.
The Frog was a clear winner...
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.
Definitely worth the money
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.
Frog Tape every time
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.
Did the job
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.
Good job
I really like this stuff! Gives clean lines! If using on fresh(ish) paint, test it in an inconspicuous area just to be sure. And dont leave it on until it dries, peel it off carefully as soon as you have painted
Defo buy!!
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.
Great for use on CURED paintwork
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.

Good tape
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.
Best tape on the marke
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!
Better than cheap tape but be careful when pulling off
Does the job well. However it does sometimes peel paint off. Be careful when peeling off. The angle matters.
Provides a clean finish
Will recommend this product. No runs under tape providing clean edges.
BRILLIANT FINISH
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

Easy to use
This tape is amazing. Wish I’d had it for all my decorating over the last 30 years! It does exactly what it says on the tin. It definitely peels off more easily when the paint isn’t fully dry.
A great product.
Amazing! Must have for diy painters
ive seen a few reviews saying this pulled off the existing paint. I took off the tape as soon as the paint was dry and the finish was perfect. Make sure you follow the instructions and apply a thin coat of paint over the tape edge and allow it to dry before second coating as this stops the paint bleeding through. Wish I had bought this soone
Green for go.
Bought for use with a Giani kichen top paint kit.
Very good quality,sticks well no “paint creep”,easy to see when removing,bright green.
Best masking tape I have used so far.
Great for artists
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

Great stuff, sticks like sh*t if left on too long but it’s great stuff.
We have started using it for masking off before painting instead of the usual masking tape and it does a great job.
Will certainly use it all the time from now on.
Perfectly clean lines, very impressive
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
Worth the money
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
Cut down on mess
Liked going yo save a lot of mess when painting the windows
Sticks so well but be careful!
I used this to paint the edges of the walls and coving. It did do a brilliant job but due to its aggressive adhesion but some of the paint came off when removing the tape. Nevertheless, it did provide an excellent finish in the end.
Good but don't put over new paint even when well dry
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.

Love i
This is a revelation to me. I have always used ordinary masking tape…which invariably goes tacky and removes half of what you are trying to protect. This however is the right track and us a dream to use.
Helps gives a nice finish
I am a DIY person and didn’t believe in wasting my time putting masking tape on. I would much rather waste more time cleaning paint off were it should not be. Extremely time saving for painting applying silicon joints, gives me an almost professional finish
Possibly the best masking tape available
The tape works really well with good adhesion to most surfaces. Easy to use and easy to install. My only complaint is the plastic box that it came in… is it really necessary to use a plastic box when there are so many environmental options available..
Very Good. Worth the money.
Didn’t really want to pay that much for masking tape but very pleased I did. Great stuff. Better than the stuff from own brand DIY shops. You get what you pay for. No paint bleeding and does not lift. Sticks like glue but also removes easily.
Excellent product. Did exactly what it said on the tin.
Excellent product. Did exactly what it said on the tin. Was slightly suspicious it wouldn’t work at first, but it actually worked perfectly. It worked better than expected. It’s great for geometric patterns and just for painting straight lines. I would definitely recommend it.
By the way you might find it cheaper at your local B&Q.
This stuff is 100 times better than the awful ordinary paper-like masking tape.
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.

5 stars
Very good tape if used correctly. I got a little bit hasty in between coats and let the paint dry only for couple of hours and had a little bit of paint sticking to the tape. When given the paint double the time to dry, there was no issue. Nice sharp lines.
No bleed through so job looks neat.
Does what it’s meant to do with no awful bleed through. There was only two times( in 3 rolls- bought separately- ) that the paint underneath it came off when removing tape from the wall. Good product. Probably cheaper ones but as was happy with the first roll I thought I’d stick with Frog tape.
Great produc
This stuff is ideal for painting projects. It’s a lot better than your basic masking tape, minimal bleed when painting. I use this on my guitar builds and get great results… I can’t go back to basic masking tape. Definitely worth having roll if you plan any intricate painting.
I ran out of masking tape while decorating and with no time to get the shop, I needed next day/prime delivery. I was reluctant to buy cheap masking tape without seeing it so chose the more expensive option based on fairly good reviews. I’m pleased I did!
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.

Great for edging and 3D Printer Beds
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.
Great for edging and 3D Printer Beds
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.

Top Quality Masking Tape
I really like this masking tape which lives up to the advertising for it.
I chose the 36mm x 41.1 m size and it worked well with no bleeding
of paint into other surfaces.
I shall buy Frog Tape in future for masking of all surfaces that I wish
to paint.
This was an excellent purchase.
Simply put; why would you buy anything else.
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!

Good old frog tape, great quality used to put up grad ball decorations in a hotel venue as we didnt want to pull paint off. Also used to wrap my daughters shoe, high heel back on as it snapped within one hour of wearing at the ball . It looked more like a vivienne westwood design by the time we had wrapped it around and reinforced it with duck tape just to get her to the car.

I have used cheap making tape before and it cost me so much time as it lifted the paint off. If anyone has had this before it is an absolute pain as you end up having to cut the damaged paint out and sanding filling for a decent finish.
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

Yes it’s much more expensive than standard masking tape. But it much better too, and the rolls are long and last ages. Cheap tape tears as you pull it off the roll, thing doesn’t. It sticks well but also peels off well without leaving anything behind. It’s just better and I don’t bother buying anything else now I’ve tried this. I think it’s totally worth the extra.

I like the produc
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….
Great stuff, if you follow the instructions properly. Used it to paint horizontal lines on a wall. 2 days after painting base coat to a plastered wall, applied the tape and painted the alternate colour. Gently removed tape and have perfect crisp lines. Very happy!
Great stuff. Adheres well, and yet is relatively easy to detach again. I like it’s visibility due to colour too. Also, it comes in a plastic storage tub which means when you store it, the adhesive layer does not dry out and lose adhesiveness.
Amazing stuff, really did the trick when painting my whole house. Ordered 7 of these now and would definitely recommend. It is pretty much just green masking tape, we ran out at one point and resorted to standed masking tape which is extremely hard to get a neat line against white ceilings and magnolia walls. Slightly expensive for what it is but it gave me great lines and saved 100’s if i had of hired a painter!
Stop wondering if it's worth it - and give it a go!
Wouldn’t paint without it. It’s as simple as that. If you’re looking at this thinking “that’s rather expensive for masking tape!” then that is because this isn’t masking tape like you know it. This is what masking tape should be – it doesn’t bleed or run through it, and it lifts off easily and cleanly. I tried it once because someone gave me some (I was too stingy to buy it myself) but having used it I will never ever go back.
... expensive but is easier to apply and does a better masking job than conventional tape
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.
Very good for cutting in and keeping neat lines. Doesn’t adhere too well to eg the bath (but it doesn’t claim to) but otherwise I thought this stuff was pretty magic, and I wouldn’t want to go back to masking tape. Left no residue and came away very easily. Good bit of kit.
worlds most expensive masking tape! ... but it works well
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.
This is a great product for a superior neat finish to any paintwork. If you’re worried about hitting the wrong parts when decorating this is for you.
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
Great Tape
Excellent tape, better than the usual white/cream tape. it sticks and comes off again no problem with no residue. It doesn’t disintegrate like cheap masking tape (trust me on this one after several years as an art student on a very tight budget I know about cheap masking tape!). I bought it to decorate with and it was on an “add-on” promotion so the price was even better than expected. If you need nice clean sharp edges in your painting this is the stuff to buy!
Great for painting and very strong
What can I say, does the job much better than normal masking tape and very strong (tensile strength), easy to remove and doesnt leave marks when removed.
I got the wider tape and I’m glad I paid a little more as when painting sometimes you paint the tape and the extra width gave just the right level of protection for plugs/switches and skirting.
I also used this to paint feature walls, so need a clean line finish in the corners of a room and this did a good job at tha
