Explain PaintBlock Technology

just a simple way to help support making these free videos. All right, so I got some tapes in front of me and I'm going to show you some of the different technology in the tapes. I've got frog tape, orange, blue, yellow, and green in front of me. And the green and yellow and blue have a technology on them called paint walk technology. And it has a polymer on the outside edge of the tape that actually swells up and doesn't allow liquids, essentially paint to bleed underneath it and give you jagged lines. So do you need to cock your tape or not? So if you're using inexpensive painters tapes that don't have this technology on it, you're more likely going to have paint bleed underneath the surface unless you're on an extremely smooth surface. Now, bleeding under than tape is kind of has some relation to do with whether you're on a really smooth surface like glass, then your tape can get a really good adhesion and you're not going to have any peaks and valleys and voids. But if you're on a rough surface like a kind of like an orange peel textured surface and you're applying your tape across that, that's not a smooth surface and you're going to have some peaks and valleys and voids in the tape edge and that's going to allow paint to bleed underneath. Now, if you're using a really good tape like frog tape, that polymer is going to swell up and it's going to fill in those peaks and valleys and voids. Now, if you've got a really rough surface, that's where cocking does come into play because it aids in that and filling those gaps and voids along with the polymer. I'm going to show you the difference in the tape here and what that polymer does in the fact that actually has and why you'd want to use a painter's tape that has that polymer. So, I've got three
