House construction

I have used this painting tape for years. It works well for many painting projects.

RECOMMENDATIONS
* Test a small area before using. I’ve had this tape strip the paint off previously painted surfaces.
* For best result, remove this painter’s tape as soon as the paint is reasonably dry.
* Always remove the tape by pulling it out and away of the painted surface.
* This painter’s tape provides the best results when applied to SMOOTH surfaces.

NOTE ON PAINTING WALLS WITH BASEBOARDS
This painters tape works very well when painting walls with baseboards IF the baseboards are snug against the wall. It is not suitable to use this painters tape on baseboards that are NOT snug against the wall due to wavy walls or because the wall is moderately textured. In these cases, paint tends to collect between the taped baseboard and the wall leaving unsightly blobs of paint. It is best to use a paint edger in these situations.

SUMMARY THOUGHTS
While this painter’s tape works well for many painting projects; it isn’t suitable for ALL projects. It is best used on smooth surfaces. Like any tool, know its intended use and its limitations.

I paid $6.85 per roll from Amazon on May 25, 2014.

The ScotchBlue Painter’s Tape was exactly what I needed for repainting the trim throughout my house. To be as humble as I can about this, it came out flawless! The lines are straight, sharp and precise. You’d think I was a professional at this but I’ve only painted a few rooms in my day. Last time, I remember messing up the trim a bit so I wanted to be sure to do it right this time. My contractor friend advised me to pick up the ScotchBlue and, wow, it’s amazing! I have a few different types of walls that needed to be painted and with the tape, it worked great. Highly recommended to anyone that’s looking to do a pro paint job to their home.
