Cream walls with Maroon accent wall--it worked!!!

My daughter requested new colors for her bedroom and I agreed. Little did I know she wanted 3 walls of cream and 1 wall of maroon! It took me 3 weeks to agree to the dark accent wall because I knew it would be impossible to keep "in the lines" and not mess up the beautiful cream walls (all tape I had used in past painting jobs leaked through). I started by purchasing the green Frog tape (all the time thinking to myself "this is never going to work), reading the directions (which told me to see the website for textured walls), and then watching the video for textured wall application. I was still nervous but decided I couldn't put it off any longer. I sanded the corners of my textured wall, applied the tape, painted over the tape to seal it, then started applying the dreaded maroon color. Did you know it takes many, many coats to make a maroon wall look good?! But I finally reached the point where I could peel off the tape and got my knife ready. I figured I'd be disappointed but when the tape started coming off without any maroon paint leaking into the cream, I almost screamed for joy!!!! The tape worked beautifully and the video instruction was spot on! Thank you so very much!!!!
This product DOES NOT work with spray paint, and will bleed like a stuck pig.
That is all.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Thank you for your review. We are sorry about the paint bleed you experienced and we would like to learn more about the surface you applied the tape too. Please feel free to contact us to discuss at 1-877-376-4827.
They must have changed the formula for this tape because the last three rolls I've purchased won't even stick to the wall or trim. It falls right off. I never had this problem with Frog Tape in the past. It used to be a great product. Not any more. I won't be purchasing it again.

Thank you for your review. We are sorry you had issues with getting the FrogTape to stick. We would like to learn more about the surface you were applying the tape to, as well if you still have any FrogTape left. Please contact us 1-877-376-4827 or by e-mail at askus@shurtech.com.
I'm what you might call an Impatient Painter...I dislike the taping and the process. I always found it so frustrating to go through all the work of taping and have the paint leak through. This didn't happen with Frog Tape! I have clean lines and the process of taping went very well. I would recommend this to anyone.
I thought the blue tape for painting was the best; then I found what I like to call "The Frog Pro". This tape is great for any painting project! It comes off clean - no seeping or run off. Now I've learned about Shape Tape. So of course now I need to repaint my master bedroom and my home office to use this product. Can't wait to see the outcome!! Trust FrogTape with all your painting projects.
used the frog tape on my clean walls. Taped the base boards and around the edges. Used basic paint on my walls when I pulled the frog tape off it pulled off my paint with it. Spent more time fixing the problems then I did putting on the frog tape. Will not use this again

Thank you for your review Kimber77. We are sorry the FrogTape pulled off the paint. We would like to know more information on the surface you taped off and where the paint pulled from. Please do not hesitate to contact us at 1-877-376-4827.
I've used other tape when painting. None of them work as well as Grog Tape. No bleed through, perfect crisp edges with Frog Tape. Saves time and money in the long run, no need to correct anything.
