Frog tape ripped the paint off the wall and even tore the outer paper layer of the green board. Now I have to repair and repaint the wall. I paid extra for a product that I thought was superior to the standard blue painter's tape I had used in the past. I wont make that mistake again.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Thought we'd try this product as it seemed to be an innovative way to stop bleeding under. It didn't.
The idea is sound but implementation leaves much to be desired. What I didn't try was pre-conditioning the applied tape with a fingertip dipped in water to set the polymer before application of latex paint. It would seem that those who may have better success had paint that had a higher percentage of water that was available to activate. The tape I applied was burnished to the surface thus ensuring 100% adhesion but this also failed.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I have been using Frog Tape for some time, well, ever since it came on the market! I can depend on it, every time, to keep paint from bleeding onto adjacent surfaces. It's easy to apply and easy to remove. I can't wait to try the "wavy" Frog Tape. Lot's of possibilities!
I painted a feature wall of straight lines on a textured wall and it would not have been possible without Frog Tape. This is before I knew there was a product made just for textured walls. If I had known about the contest beforehand I would have taken the pictures of the work in progress and the finished product so you could see how crisp the lines are.
