Dissapointed with results... expected more for the money!

I bought the 6 pack of this tape in preparation for painting the entire interior of my home. I have seen the ads and was sold on the product. I watched the how to videos on this website and installed the tape as instructed. I spent most of a whole day preparing my kitchen for painting. After painting the kitchen and waiting a day for the paint to dry, I was excited about pulling off the tape and enjoying my new paint color. When I pulled off the tape, I was extremelly dissapointed to find that the paint had leaked under the tape and all over the edges of my kitchen cabinets and onto my wood ceiling. I am so frustrated and upset at all my hard work now having to be cleaned up, scraped and sanded to obtain the finished look I was expecting. I would not recommend this tape and do not plan to use it for the rest of my house.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

True to its name, not just a painters tape, has multi-purposes!

I am not a painter by any means, but I have used the multi-purpose blue painters tape for a variety of tasks, including - sticking it on a painted wall/to cover an area to prevent splash [its primary, intended purpose].
For places that need touch-ups for whatever reason: be it, due to too many nail holes made by picture frames over the years, and you decide to patch them up and do some touch up paint. Or you are installing new light switches and you need to tape around that area, or even to prevent accidental punctures when working with tools. It seems to do the job as intended.
But the great thing is that this, really is a multi-purpose tape, and I feel it can take the role of masking tape as well for better or worse. What I mean is, when you are using this tape outside of the painting realm [such as uses intended for vanilla colored masking tape], it does not leave a sticky residue over time, or if it gets heated [a hot day, left on a hot surface/on a hot day, or just over time]. Which saves a lot of trouble. The "worse", although its not really that bad [I know wrong word choice], is that sometimes it may not stick as strongly as you would like compared to masking tape. For example, folded heavy duty plastic baggies [like those thick, I believe 4mil? 6mil?] plastic bags at around 3-6 inch tall to 2 inch wide. An easier example might be, the freezer bag style zip-lock bags, and sometimes even slightly thicker. This tape may curl up on the corners depending on how its used, if the inside of the bag is "pumped" etc.
Overall a great tape for its intent, and other multi-purposes.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I love this tape

i went to my brothers house to help him paint his widows and he had some scotch blue tape. I loved how it was so easy to use and for some reason it smells good too. The paint didn't get threw and mess up the windows and after we finished it can off so easy and now I buy a roll every 2 weeks for my home projects and other uses too. I love this tape and i even make stencils out of it!
I would recommend this to a friend!

the strength of tape without the damage

I had to bundle up a closet package for a friend. I used 3M Blue painters tape to wrap the melamine shelves and the white brackets together. It held like packing tape yet when he removes it there will be no tape residue on the white melamine or metal. Sweet!
I would recommend this to a friend!
