excellent for using for splints on broken bones

I broke a bone in a fall in two places, since we could not get to the doctor for a couple of days, my husband used the frog tape to create a splint to immobilize my foot, it worked great!
I would recommend this to a friend!

I truly wanted to NOT like this brand...

I felt a certain ambiguity about painters tape in general - it was better than masking tape but not as good as promised, across the spectrum of brands, just buy whatever is least expensive. So when I started hearing about FrogTape, it was mostly from Pinterest 'influencers'... you know, the ones who make you read their 3 generation lineage story to find the paint color used in their home. Where's Waldo but with word vomit. Anywho, I was just convinced that this green stuff was no better than all the blue brands, just more expensive. Had a little extra change burning a hole in my pocket in Lowes one day, picked up the green stuff 'just to prove myself right and all those influencers with the perfect coifs and perfect figures and endless budgets wrong'. UGHHHHHHHH!! As far as the painters tape market is concerned, in 2022, FrogTape is bullfrog-length leaps and bounds better than the competition. Well worth the price, comparatively. If ya can't rip it down 9minutes and 59 seconds after applying the last coat, it's least likely to rip the paint, least likely to rip and leave a green sliver, most likely to not cause anxiety and anger after 27000 hours of shoulder-agonizing rolling paint and wrist-agonizing cutting-in. Just get the FrogTape!

Don't believe it!

Used Frogtape on my textured walls. Pressed firmly into crevices. Paint bleed all over. What a mess. I regret now choosing to paint a color instead of basic white again.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We are very sorry to hear that you have some paint bleed. Textured surfaces can be quite tricky. When cutting in, it is best to run a thin coat of your base color along the tape edge first. Doing so activates the PaintBlock Technology and also ensures any initial bleed through that may happen will be the same base color as your wall.

Garbage Product - don't use!

I used this to tape off my ceiling so I'd have a nice sharp line between ceiling and walls, it was applied for approx 48 hrs and the paint had almost 20 hrs dry time. When I peeled it off it took the wall paint with it. Now I'll need to re-tape (another brand) and repaint all over again. Doubled my work effort.

Hi! We are very sorry to see you had some paint tear while using FrogTape. When old paints lifts like this, it is an indication that it did not make a complete bond to the surface. We recommend removing the tape while the paint is still wet. If the paint dries and you notice that the paint is pulling up with the tape, or that the paint is cracking along the paint line as you remove the tape, score along the edge of the tape with a razor blade before removing.

Tape adhesive failed once primer was applied
on April 28, 2022
Posted by: Travis G
from Bremond TX
I used the green tape to mask 4 rooms in a house i had to paint the old classic the ceiling tiles from the 70’s. Two rooms i taped the ceiling trim first, then attached my plastic with another strip directly to the previous applied tape. The other two rooms i applied the tape and plastic sheeting directly to the trim, with only one layer of tape. I have used frog tape both the green and yellow for years even for this same application and never had trouble. This time it was a disaster. After applying the first coat on water based primer, when i went back to spray the second coat, 2 rooms had then plastic on the ground cuz the adhesive had apparently failed after being coated with primer. Keep in mind i made certain the tape was sealed to the trim securely the entire length of the trim, so there would be no bleed, since this was stained trim. I also had cleaned the trim before applying to get any dust off. Also, where the tape had failed to stay adhered, when attempting to put new tape, it would not stick at all to most of the surface of the trim. I had to use clear packing tape to stick the new protective plastic in place. I left the other walls that didn’t come off. So i proceeded to spray the second coat. As i was going the green tape started to fail on the walls that were still up after the initial failure, causing overspray to get on a lot of paneling and trim before I realized it had came loose behind me. As you can imagine, now i have a big mess to try and fix, and it wont be with this tape ever again, this much i promise, cuz it will cost a considerable amount of time and explanation to the owner as to why these issues exist, since they hired me so problems like this didn’t happen. After the second primer coat was dried, upon returning, almost all green tape and yellow tape I had used had failed and the wall plastic was on the ground when i returned. It made me sick to loose all that time and money in supplies, only to have to do it all again as well as remove primer from 50+ year old paneling and triim without ruining the finish. Good luck with that, so nothing i have to say is good after this experience. I have used frog tape for years and always recommended it. Never again they changed something in the adhesive and it is inferior to the previous product. And there is nothing anywhere to alert the consumers of a different product, same package same label. All in all, I lost week of labor and hundreds in supplies due to this mistake. At this point i will have to switch back to 3M, they stepped up their game the last few years after frog tape came along, so hopefully i can depend on their products being consistent in the future. The world we live in is so pathetic and greed stricken, if there is a product that actually works right or better than expected, never expect it to stay that way, cuz big business or big brother can’t have something that actually only requires one application, one usage, like it should. Instead they gotta change everything so they can increase sales volume after they “almost” get the job done, but still need more to finish it. Just like modern medicine. No cure, just monthly treatments and more meds to treat the side effects of the others. Pathetic. Never again for me, sorry for the long review, just highly frustrated.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Only Use FrogTape

I’ve painted almost every room in my house and only use FrogTape. I can be a sloppy painter but I’ve never had a bleed through. For some extra security I run my fingernail down the edge to make sure I seal it off.
