[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like this product for paining but I also apply it to finish wood surfaces for marking and scribing. It allows me to mark the wood without marring the finish but the color is so dark it's hard to see a pencil line. I'd like to see a cream color option as is used on masking tape.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use this tape to block or mask out various shapes on my canvas so that I may paint around an area of the painting. The tape prevents bleeding though to the blocked area. I really appreciate having a great tape to use.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I didn't want to pay the price, so I tried an imitation product. I am new to painting and thought that by using the brand name product I was just paying for the name. I taped off the ceiling in my bathroom and painted the ceiling. It is a small powder room and when I cut in the edges, I got paint on the tape (that's why I put up tape). The paint dried and when I tried to pull the tape off, it pulled paint off the wall and the tape shredded making removal very hard and forcing me to touch up portions of the wall. Never again. I am sticking to the ScotchBlue painter's tape because it does what it is supposed to do and does not damage the walls.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We recently did a residential repaint.The homeowner had all the woo floors refinished so we applied Rosin paper and used 2" 3m tape to hold the paper to the foors with great results and no damage to the floors. I will only use 3M products for my business !
At times the blue tape can peel the sub surface paint off of drywall compound.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After using the tape for years I have found the product to be distructive. Do not use the product over painted areas that were over skimmed areas of drywall wall compound. I only paint with benjamin moore paints and I paint with recommended products. the blue tape will peel the paint and primer right off the cured drywall mud. very frustrating that you have to go back over areas.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Thank you for taking the time to write a Rating & Review on our ScotchBlue™ Original Painter's Tape for Multi-Surfaces. This tape is recommended for primed and painted surfaces that have cured for 30 days or longer before application and has a 14 day removal time. If there is a need to use tape on a freshly painted or delicate surface we have ScotchBlue™ Painter's Tape for Delicate Surfaces which can be applied to paint that has cured 24 hours or longer and has a 60 day removal time. From your review we are unsure if the walls were primed or how long the surface had been painted before application. We would ask you contact us for further assistance at 800-494-3552 M-F 7:00 am to 6:00 pm CST. We will discuss your application, ask for our remaining product for our lab to review, and work with you for further resolution. Thanks again, and please keep an eye out for a direct e-mail!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Hi, we've painted many paint projects using your tape over the years and always had fantastic results. However, with having Blue Tape around the house, I have come to use it almost daily for another use: labeling food containers for the fridge and freezer. It applies in any size, is easy to write on, peels off easily afterwards, plus doesn't come off in the dishwasher if you forget about it! LOVE IT for this use and have recommended it to friends! Just thought I'd let you know. Thank you!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love your ScotchBlue™ Original Painters Tape. I am a Pre-K teacher and use if frequently in my classroom. It has come in handy for taping off "roads" for the children to drive their cars on, creating shapes on tables & floors to sort or play games in, creating designs on tables for the children to do etching on paper....the uses are endless! Thank you for this product and I look forward to seeing the many more uses in the future!
