BLUE TAPE isn't for Everyone! MASKING TO PAINT

What happens here

In conclusion, the speaker advises that if a painting project requires tape to remain on surfaces for three days or more, investing in a 14-day release blue tape (like FrogTape Blue) is a wise decision due to its superior qualities and performance. For shorter projects where tape is removed within three days, a more economical production tape (like Shurtape CP 199) is sufficient. He also notes that FrogTape Green, while more expensive, offers premium paper and PaintBlock technology for the sharpest lines.

Goal: This step provides final recommendations: use 14-day release blue tape for long projects, and more affordable production tape for short projects, emphasizing FrogTape Green for premium results.

What they say

Hide

It's a release coat on the paper. So apparently all these tapes the paper has got a release coat on it And but I have noticed in the past some really really cheap production tapes some of those yellow production tapes that are like 60-70 cents a roll You know they'll sit in your vehicle for three or four months. You'll pull them out They'll stick and splinter really really bad and maybe those production tapes some of making it cheaper Maybe they're not putting a release coat onto the paper So in closing should you buy your blue tape if you don't do it yourself or even a professional painter You're gonna be leaving your tape on for three days or more Using a 14-day release tape is you know It's probably a really good idea and worth the money if you're gonna be taking the the pulling your masking off your paper your plastic with your tape You're within three days. It's you can save yourself a whole lot of money by just using a production tape We absolutely love the CP-199 from Sherp tape is our production tape I think it's somewhere around two dollars a roll most Most blue tapes out there they're gonna be somewhere around five to seven dollars a roll It just give or take it depends on your paints or what their price is in that locale and what your contractor discount is There's a lot of fluctuations in prices of tapes So I can't give you the exact price you know of the tape itself Yes frog tape is probably one of the most expensive tapes out there you can buy
