We used this to paint trim between our hardwood floors and walls. The paint leaked onto the hardwood floors and also ripped our paint off the walls when we removed it. One painting project has now turned into two. Will not be using again in the future. Not worth the extra money.
I had a nightmare left by my tenants of 11 yrs. The entire 2 story townhouse had to be painted, top to bottom. I have tons of woodwork throughout. I went out to buy what was needed as I was doing all the pre-painting prep taping myself. I remembered a "store brand" style blue tape that didn't work at all, so when I saw the advanced I was sold! It went on perfectly, stayed on and came off without a hitch. I would shout from the rooftops and tell everyone I know about the BEST painters tape in the world - ScotchBlue!!
i like this product alright. i am not head over heals for it. its a little pricy and it doesnt seem to work better than regular masking tape. it does remove easily but is really hard to apply to wall perfectly straight and then some paint stil leaked through. so i prob should have given less stars.
I've seen the great tv ads for the advanced blue tape and I couldn't wait to try it out on my bedroom walls. We had previously painted our focal wall (45+ days ago), so I thought the tape would do fine on the lightly textured wall. I taped it all up and painted the side wall shortly after I finished taping it off. I was so excited to see the results, however the tape pulled off areas of my focal wall paint from the floor to the ceiling. This means more work for me, plus I'll need to go out and buy more of my focal wall paint to redo the areas that the tape pulled off.
I recently painted my daughters play room and wanted to add a section of chalk board paint. I am a professional painter and was skeptial and was right to be. The old fashion way I get great lines with regular blue tape would have worked much better. Now I have the task trying to straighten out the bleed through.
I just finished painting two rooms in a log cabin so painters tape was a must! I used the tape on all the door paneling and the logs and this tape did the job! Clean lines and no paint on the beautiful wood!
I used this tape when I remodeled my kitchen. I have always used Scotch Blue tape in the past and was hopeful that the edge lock would help me not get any bleed through. Boy it sure does adheare well. So well in fact, it tore off the ceiling paint, door trim and laminate on the side of my brand new cabinets. I would not recommend this tape.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
