Frogtape Green Masking Tape (L)41.1m (W)36mm

I am a retired professional decorator and never had much use for tape apart from hanging plastic sheeting to protect against paint flecks.
These days my hands are not steady and I needed a sharp crisp edge between two strong colours. Having read these reports I was unsure it would be any good. Well, I listened to my wife (?) and tried it. I followed the instructions to the letter and the results were impressive. In fact, I love it! I can see why it hasn't worked for some people and I know why, but they wont like the reason ! ( Clue, preparation and proper procedure.)

Credit where credits due. This tape does work in giving a sharp edge to painting which I can never get from brush alone. HOWEVER the major downside is that despite what it says on the packaging it DOES remove paint. The paint it removed was not new either. Great idea but poor execution. Admittedly it only removes a little paint but still extremely annoying!!

Absolutely shocking tape! It has completely ruined my new conservatory wall that I previously painted. I put on this tape to protect my freshly painted wall from a month ago, while I was painting the skirting board and ledge above it for plants etc I’ll never use or buy this multi-surface tape again. What I would like is compensation! I remember in the past when I used the orange version of this tape, that it didn’t make a complete mess of my wall. Unfortunately, the orange version wasn’t available when I bought the tape. The yellow version did exactly the same thing as the green tape, despite it being less tacky. I am extremely disgruntled!

I wouldn’t spend 1p on this product. Just lift it and bin it. This tape is completely useless, just another product trying to make money on the market. Does nothing that it promises. Absolute joke. Peels off paint when stuck onto wall ever so lightly, and leaves lines ridged and uneven. Do not buy, you’re better off using your hand as a guideline.

I thought this was quite expensive but for the time saved on getting a perfectly straight edge without bleeding it was well worth it. I will not be buying the cheap stuff against Comes in a plastic tub so that the edges remain sharp on the roll.
