Not all painter's tape is the same. Here's what's one you actually need. Let's get after it. The original blue painter's tape. This is [snorts] my go-to tape when it comes to walls, baseboard, glass, tile, whatever the case is. It has medium strength adhesive and stays on for up to 14 days with clean removal. Delicate surface painter's tape. This delicate surface tape uses a gentler adhesive, which is great on cabinets, floors, or newly painted walls. And it's designed for clean removal up to 60 days. Rough surface painter's tape. This tape has a very strong adhesive. It's made for gripping brick, stucco, block, concrete, rough wood, and other textured surfaces. It's designed to remove cleanly up to 5 days. Frog tape. Designed [snorts] to stop paint bleed and give you cleaner lines. Quick tip, take a damp towel and just run your edges before you paint. This helps activate that ProBlock adhesion. Frog tape can stay on a surface for up to 21 days and 7 days in direct sunlight. And for a clean peel, make sure you keep your tape at a 45° angle. Make sure that you peel your tape when it's still slightly wet. Different tapes are made for different jobs. Use the right one and you'll get a better finished product. Anyways, I'm going to peel up out of here. I'll catch you guys later. Peace.
