What they say

Hide

very high adhesion tape. If for some reason you don't have access to that, then get the orange because the orange is performing, it's starting to lift off on the corners a little bit, but it's still like on there pretty strong, the adhesive is pretty strong. The new frog tape advance is, that's on there because it's got a pretty strong adhesive, it's thinner, a washi tape, it's got a longer release time, a 28-day release. 21, 21-day release. The blue is a 14-day release, so if you're really a particular about release times, the orange is three-day release, if you're masking on an exterior, you don't wanna be using these tapes for the longer than the release times on an exterior. Like, if you're using this technology in these paints and stuff, when you're masking, I wouldn't be thinking this masking's gonna be on there, even for a day or for a few hours. I'd be masking and spraying immediately. I'm not sure that very high adhesion tape, see if it's got, it's rated, got a release time on it. I've never looked at it, see, clean day release. Does it call it out on here? Three-day clean removal. So it has the same clean day removal as the frog tape orange.
