About the only words that can describe this tape are absolutely terrible. It did not protect the baseboards or door frames as it allowed paint to leak in through the edges. At times, after it was applied, it pulled away from the surface it was applied to even with it's increased stickiness. And then, when removed the same day it was applied, it tore making it that much more difficult to remove. I wish I could give this tape a rating of zero.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We used this tape to keep paint off of the wooden molding around rooms when painting the walls. Not only did it allow paint to get on the molding under the tape, it actually pulled the stain off some of the wood. Now we have to remove the paint from the wood and re-stain. This was NOT in our timeline as we are having new carpet installed. Very disappointed in this product!!!

Very poor choice in painters tape. We spent the extra due to painting with a a dark color for the "edge lock" but the tape didn't even stick to baseboards or clean preped walls. Big disappointment.

Using this tape to mask trim and it doesn't stick more than 12 hours or so. Trim was cleaned prior to application. Applied it a day before painting and had to go over every inch of it to get it to adhere before I painted. Very disappointed as the quality of this 3M products appears to be going down.

I bought this tape (even though it was more expensive than other brands) specifically because it advertised "Advanced Edge-Lock for super sharp paint lines". By the time I was taping the 2nd half of the room, the 1st half was peeling away from the wall, so I had to go back and press it down again. I had the tape in place less than 36 hours and when I removed it, it took the paint right off the baseboards & trim!! I've NEVER had that happen, even when using the cheapest brand. Now I have to paint all the trim, which I hadn't planned on doing. VERY disappointed!!!

I spent an over an hour taping walls, cabinets, and trim as necessary to not get paint on surfaces where I do not want to paint, the purpose of Painter's tape. I come back to the area the next morning and most of the taping that I did the prior night needs to be redone. It has fallen off of the surfaces. I also need to go and purchase more tape, NOT 3M and tape everything again. I thought Painter's tape is supposed to help save time while painting, well not this tape, It has caused me more work. I previously purchased an off brand of painter's tape and it worked extremely better than this highly recognized and respected brand of 3M.
