Scuff-X Paint Review. Paint from Benjamin Moore worth buying.

What happens here

When masking with Frog Tape, the reviewer notes that paint typically needs to be caulked to prevent bleeding, especially with thin, dark paints. However, when using Scuff-X and Frog Tape, no caulking was applied. The paint activated the Frog Tape's PaintBlock Technology, creating a micro-barrier that prevented any bleeding, resulting in perfectly straight and sharp lines. This eliminates an extra step in the painting process.

Goal: The paint's properties, combined with Frog Tape, successfully prevented bleeding under the tape, ensuring perfectly straight lines without the need for caulking.

bleed under the tape a frog tape is one thing that's going to stop that it's going to give you perfectly straight lines but i wanted to really put frog tape to the test and this paint to the test and not actually caulk my tape and see how well it performed and i was absolutely amazed how well it performed and so just to you know touch on that we um we applied our paint i actually did my cut ends applied the paint with a brush you don't want to put a lot of pressure i put the paint you know on over the tape and we pulled it as the second coat um came off and typically you know on something like this i would apply clear caulking you know over my tape you know i'd paint over it and then pull it to ensure that i get uh perfectly straight lines and some videos talking about that if you want to go back you know and watch my videos of caulking your tape and how you get perfectly straight lines i'm not going to talk about it in depth here but i did pull the tape on the sides and on the baseboards and it was amazing the paint did not bleed through the tape so that the paint hit the the frog tape activated the frog tape and i got perfectly straight lines without having to caulk and so that eliminated one step and i and a lot of that is the frog tape but i think some of it had to do
