Needs Renamed. This stuff is a JOKE

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought several rolls of this tape and used it when I painted my sons 1st home while he was in Basic Training for the Army. We used Sherwin Williams paint on his smooth surfaced walls. Needless to say, the "edge-Lock" feature does not work AT ALL on this stuff! Every inch of this tape failed miserably. I had to go back and repaint every inch of where the tape was supposed to be. I even had to change colors of some walls to cover up the spots that had bled over onto the other wall. The ceiling has a new coat of paint as well (I had not intended on painting the ceiling) since the tape did not do as it advertised. Don't waste your money on this product. If I would have known, I wouldn't have wasted $50 on this tape.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This tape wouldn't even stick to itself. It only has adhesive qualities when it wants to be difficult to remove. Eight bucks a roll...what a waste.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Throughout all the painting jobs in my house I have never used painters tape as I have a pretty steady hand and didn't see the need for it. I used some on one painting project and liked the incredibly straight line it produced. I purchased this product for a kitchen remodel we just undertook and used it throughout the kitchen, dining room, and as of today hallway & stairs. I am so disappointed in it, I will not recommend this product to anyone! I painted the kitchen and dining room about a month ago and used the tape for between the walls & ceiling; when I removed the tape within about 48 hours, a few sections of the ceiling paint removed with the tape. Thinking maybe I had waited too long last time I purchased a new roll and attempted it again on a hallway with stairs project. I placed the tape between the wall and ceiling this morning and then followed with the first coat of paint. The second coat of paint was laid this afternoon, and then this evening I removed the tape. While the line between the wall and ceiling looks great, I literally have sections of my ceiling paint down to the drywall paper that removed with the tape!
I don't expect 3M to do anything about this nor am I seeking any compensation for this issue, but I do want others to know that this product sticks TOO well and will damage the wall/ceiling by removing the paint underneath when you remove the tape. I selected this product due to being a quality brand; 3M, please consider revamping this product. Thank you.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I painted my walls with a good paint, TWO WEEKS later I taped the walls to paint the ceilings, the tape was on the wall for abut an hour on each area. When I took the tape off it peeled the paint from my wall in most spots. Rather large spots at that! Here are just two small areas that I took pictures of.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought a few rolls of this tape because of the edge lock. What a mistake. The tape took not only the paint off my ceiling but also some of the dry wall. Now I have to spackle when it didn't need it in the first place. I'm not new at painting and my walls were prepped the right way. This tape was sticky in spots and not sticking at all in others. Thanks scotch blue for making this a project that has to be done again.

Thank you for taking the time to leave your review, we are sorry to hear of the damage you experienced. This product requires 30 days for the paint to cure before applying the tape to it, this is to allow the paint to bond to the drywall/wood surface prior to being taped. If the paint had time to fully cure we would not expect any pulling of the paint. We have sent you an e-mail to offer assistance and look forward to hearing back from you. For any customers with questions please contact us at www.scotchblue.com.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] In the past I have struggled with applying tapes and removing them. I have arthritis in my fingers. So much easier for me to use this tape..Also it hides my messy edge painting. thank you for a superior product.
3M gave me a free sample of this product to evaluate. I love it. It has a locked in feature which stops the paint from bleeding through. I have tried many different brands and there was no match to the Scotch Brand. Great on ceilings, walls and baseboards and also to make straight edges. I would recommend this product.
