Yesterday I painted the trim around the replacement windows that my husband and I had recently installed. Because I can't bring myself to waste anything, I used the three partial rolls of "Blue painter's Tape" left in my basement painting supply area. I used the blue on the first window and ran out on the second. I used the partial roll of your "frog tape" which I had purchased last year. Today I put on a second coat on both windows. What a mess I had with removal of the blue tape! It pealed off in pieces !! Your frog tape came off wonderfully -sharp and clean. Thanks for a great product.
The walls in my home are textured more than I would like. I have had such a difficult time creating a clean edge in the past that I was putting off my painting projects. I decided to try Frog Tape and was instantly in love! Such clean straight lines on even my most textured walls. This stuff is amazing! I find myself eagerly looking forward to removing the tape and get giddy with every clean line I reveal. It is not often that a product is as great as advertised, but this is the real deal. I am a client for life!
I've used all the other brands and this one truly made it so much easier to protect the ceiling and baseboards. When I removed the tape, the paint went all the way to the seam and there was no paint in the wrong place.
I use Frog Tape daily in my interior and exterior painting. In the old days, tan or blue tape was used on interior repaints. After the painting was completed, you had to remove the tape and clean the baseboard with a razor or your fingernail to remove paint that blead under the tape--even when it was pressed down with a painter's tool. I now regularly paint a room using the help of Frog Tape and have no touch-ups. When people hire aprofesional painter, they expect a project to approach perfection. Frog Tape helps me approach perfection in my projects. It has also changed the way I do decorative paint schemes. No matter how intricate the scheme, the lines are razor sharp and as professional as you can get. I use a few hundred rolls of the standard green per year and have not found one roll to have imperfections or perform sub-par.
I carefully followed the application directions on my newly painted trim work. I tested it as recommended and it seemed to work fine. I carefully taped off an entire room and hallway with two rolls of tape, only to come down the next morning to find it falling off the walls. It looked like party streamers it was so bad.
Furthermore in places where the tape did stick, some paint seeped beneath the edge in places.
I do not recommend this tape.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I have used Frog Tape for years and loved it. However every roll I have purchased in the last year has had/caused more bleeding than any painters tape I have ever used. I have used over 25 rolls in the last 12 months from several different retailers with the same results; More time re-touching taped areas and and much much greater expense. After the last roll provided me with really horrible results I purchased some non name brand painters tape from the clearance section of my local Dollar Tree. Low and behold there was no bleeding of paint and it came off without pulling up paint unlike the Frog Tape. I will never waste my money on this product again.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
