I own a biz called HIP Chicks- Home Improvement Project Chicks. I am the head HIP Chick and I teach women DIY home repair & maintenance. THIS Chick loves the FROG! It is consistently better than the blue stuff! Gives crisp lines and peels off easily and with less tearing. I tell all my students and followers to use it over any other brand. It is AWESOME to be green!
This product never fails me. I had to paint my classroom at school, so I used frogtape to paint zig-zagged lines on the walls.My students love it, and so do I. My daughter said that lines are so straight that it looks like a sticker. I was going to paint it grey, but then I remembered that my students thought that it was too drab and I also remembered that I used frogtape on my kitchen and everyone commented on how professional it looked. I reccomend this product to anyone with a creative spirit. It is extremely easy to use. Just cut off the length of tappe, press it down on the surface you are painting, and paint over it. Peel it off when you're done. This product is not false advertising! It really works, so you should buy it today.
This is our #1 tape for painting and caulking. Very little touch-up. We have used the Green Frog Tape and are very happy with it. Excellent results when applied correctly. Very excited to use the Yellow Frog Tape, as we have trouble with the Green tape on fresh paint. Will be looking forward to see if it works at it's particular job as the Green does.
My wife tends to want to buy the cheapest product available, so in the past she always vetoed my attempts to buy FrogTape. But we just had a new house built, and I was on my own at the hardware store buying painting supplies. So I splurged on a roll. I wanted to see if FrogTape was as good as the label said. By the time she came home the taping was already done.
After the first room was painted, she was removing the tape. She was amazed at how easily the tape removed and how crisp the lines were. She even came to tell me what a great job I did taping.
Then she decided to tape the next room. Afterwards, she came to me and said, "I love this tape." So from now on, we will be using FrogTape.
We recently remolded our bathroom and we got very creative with the Frog Tape by adding vertical designs.. this product kept in place and was easy to manage even when I kept changing positions. I would highly recommend it.
The job was a concrete pool deck with darker concrete coping surrounding the pool. The surface was a very rough, uneven rock salt finish with sand covered expansion joints. A journeyman painter I worked with said flat latex surfaces look best when material is rolled on generously then laid off lightly while applying slightly more pressure on the leading edge of the roller. The result is a very even tone and also provides optimum coverage and protection. "Don't try to save paint" he would say, "Save the surface". This method of application comes from a pro, however requires the roller or cut-in brush to be loaded with as much as it will hold; pushing the tape to the limit and ultimate test.
After a thorough cleaning with a TSP wash and overnight dry, I began the tedious mask the following day. I ran the top of my thumbnail along the edge of the Frog Tape, then a light bristle broom over the mask in both directions. I already had the other colors circled on a chart in anticipation of bleed-through but when I removed the tape, not only was there no bleed, but the coping and deck border was so sharp it looked like it was cut with a razor.
Frog Tape jumps to the rescue and gives you the edge :) Absolutely beautiful! ♥
Painting my 2 boys' bedrooms I needed to ptotect the oak trim around the windows. I used the multi-surface frog tape and I had no leakage. The trim is still prefect and I am a sloppy painter. If yor a good painter you should have awesome results!!
