I am painting a Master Bath. I thought using Frog Tape would make my job easier, but it wasn't! Itaped the ceiling so I could paint the walls & get a clean line. No such luck! I had paint bleed under the tape and when & removed the tape, the paint came with it! I had to repaint everywhere that the tape had bled & had pulled off the sections of paint. A job that should have only taken a few hours has now taken me days! It would have been better if I didn't use it at all. I used the multi-surface, medium adhesion tape.
I am decorating my bathroom and I had painted the walls with dulux bathroom paint - a week later I masked up round the door frame with frogtape to gloss the door and frame, to my horror the tape has taken off all the wall paint where I had masked. So my bathroom looks terrible and will have to paint the wall again. Very angry.
I'm a college student looking to see how I can attach my photos on the walls of my dorm room, and this tape happened to help me out the most! I really recommend this to those moving into their dorms. I stick this on the back of my photo collage, then to the wall, and it leaves no mark or doesn't take off the paint. You can say this tape saved me! I'd rather not deal with the embarrassment of leaving the room at the end of the semester with empty markings everywhere.
I have painted a lot of rooms over the years in various homes I've lived in and I can tell you that using the green Frog Tape has really made a difference. When I've used other brands I've had the paint bleed under the tape but this tape keeps the paint out! It lives up to its advertising and I will never use anything but Frog Tape in the future. It sticks well enough to keep the paint out but not so much that it makes it hard to remove. Love this product.
First of all, Frogtape is a much better product than the blue painter's tape. The seal the Frogtape creates is much tighther than the "other" brand. While the tape is a bit expensive, and the process of taping off is a long and tedious one, it is worth it in the end. One BIG reccomendation is to remove the tape while your paint is still wet. This will prevent and ripping of the paint that has bonded with the tape.
