[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been using ScotchBlue painters tape for a long time. I use it for when I paint walls, furniture, art on canvas, lamps just about everything! I have no complaints - works for me!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am always using this tape for our custom painted canvases that we apply a chevron pattern to afterwards. The tape adheres perfectly for our application. We find that the best paint for this is metallic spray paint. Regular sprays tend to bleed a little. The paint removes beautifully without leaving any trace of it being used. We will continue to use the tape for these projects!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love working with Scotch products - they are easy to put down and remove. They are also far superior to other tapes in preventing paint bleeding.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this tape. I do a lot of painting and sometimes put borders of different color paint on the wall. I ALWAYS use Scotch Blue Original tape and never have any problems. The paint doesn't bleed through the tape. I always get perfect paint borders of different colors. The lines are perfect. This is a great product that I will use every time I paint. Thank you for making such a great product.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received a free roll of scotch blue original Multi surface tape in the mail awhile back. I decided to try my hand on the many thrifty items I have in my garage. As The 4th of July was approaching, I chose a patriotic theme. I used the tape to paint a flag on an old window, chair, suitcase, shutter, old window screen and shovel. For the most part I was pleased with the results. There was some paint bleed under the tape & also some paint came off when I peeled the tape off. I think if I had the scotch blue edge lock or delicate surface tapes, this wouldn't of been an issue. Needless to say, the items sold very fast & I'm looking forward to trying the other tapes & making more items.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently had a cast on my arm and leg. In order to bathe I needed to cover them with a plastic bag and wrap with tape. Since your tape is designed for wet paint the water did not effect it which keep my cast dry. Also the tape did not rip up the plastic bag which allowed me to reuse them. Thank you for your product. It made getting better a little easier.
I recently repainted our bathroom and was very upset when I tried to remove the tape I had placed along the edge of the ceiling and wall. The tape ripped out not only chunks of the wall paint but also the paint along the ceiling. It's rather frustrating to think you're finished working on a project only to discover that you have to go back and redo a lot of it because the tape you were using screwed it up.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

This is the second time I've had a difficult time with your product, Scotch Blue Painter's Tape for Multi Surfaces #2090. I was painting my kitchen cabinets and used your tape on my kitchen walls, protecting them from the paint I was using on my cabinets. I went to pull off the tape and the paint came off the walls. One spot I could have dealt with but it happened continually leaving me with a new job of buying paint for my walls and painting my kitchen walls. I was told by several people not to leave the tape on the walls for very long. I made sure I didn't.
I haven't had much luck with your product and will not recommend it to my family and friends. The completion time was doubled because of your product. I have learned after this job to cut in the trim freehand, using no tape.
The only relevant evidence I had was the tape with my wall paint on it. My husband mistakenly threw it away, thinking it was garbage. I did learn by this complaint process that I should have taken pictures of the damage.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
