[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When painting, this is our preferred product used to mask off surfaces that we want to protect from the paint that is being applied. It is competitively priced and we have never had a problem with it damaging or leaving residue on the surface we are trying to protect. We also use the wider 3" rolls to seal off areas that we do not want dust & dirt to penetrate, including door openings that have been covered with visqueen, and hardwood floors that have been covered with a heavy gauge paper. This tape keeps the dust & dirt from getting under the paper where it can scratch the finish on the floor. In this application however, the tape should be replaced every couple weeks to avoid the potential of tape residue sticking to the hardwood with heavy traffic. If any residue is left on the hardwood, it is relatively easy to get off using soapy water and a damp cloth.

I tried this product for the first time and I’m very disappointed with the results. The adhesive was too strong, it peeled off the ceiling paint it was meant to protect. I had used the green tape on the same ceiling to use up what I had and had no issues. Every spot I continued on with the scotch blue ended up with damaged ceiling paint. Not only that it was difficult to remove as it kept ripping.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have to admit, I wasn't sure if there was such a thing as a tape that would be easy to remove from walls or glass without leaving some sort of tape marks. After using the original muti use tape, I was impressed that it did what I read it would do and that was come off so easily and clean. So happy that I tried it and now will be a true user.

I painted my walls 1 week ago. Today I applied scotch blue painter's tape for multi-surfaces around the trim so as not to get the trim color on the walls. When I removed the painter's tape, specks of the wall paint came off also. Now I'm going to have to touch up the walls.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When you have a wife like mine, you get to do a lot of painting. It seems that every year we are going with a different color in at least two rooms. Scotch blue painter's tape is a must have for me. It consistently leaves me with a crisp, clean edge no matter where I use it. It saves me so much time on touch ups that I will not paint without it. Thanks for such a great product.

Blue tape was excellent to secure batteries and cords to appliances when moving. Movers loved it. Put around cannister lids, jars, kleenex, baggie boxes and more. Secured sock pairs in boxez, etc. After unpacking, there was ease in opening and mo missing finishes on containers or utensils. There was no stocky tape residue eother. Great.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My sister does an art club for about 9 elementary & middle schools in the area here (attendance ranges from 30 - 70 kids - depending on the school). This months project is a motif design of the kid's choice using painter's tape criss-crossing the panel pieces (12 X 12), and then painting the spots with various colors of paint. The tape is then removed to reveal an original work of art. The tape works wonderfully.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] my wife and I did some remodeling last year, we needed to paint the wall a new color, while buying the paint the saleswoman said to use scotch blue tape. It was the best part of the job, tape was easy to use, went on and off with ease and made the cleanup quick, but best of all made clean lines and professional looking work.. I will use this product each time I need to paint anything.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I volunteer to evaluate products for 3M, and the company recently sent me a free sample of ScotchBlue original painters tape. I tried using this tape on a project where I repainted textured walls in a staircase. It worked extremely well, was easy to apply and paint did not bleed through it onto my wood bannisters and baseboards. Removal was easy, and the tape left no residue. Good instructions for use were included and my result was excellent. I definitely will buy this tape for future painting jobs.

OK. So decided to paint my bathroom this past Sunday. Bought the expensive Scotch Blue Tape for the so called "clean lines" they promised. They make it look so easy. OK. 14 day clean lines remove did not work. I had taped up'd the ceiling and along the tile. A day later after the paint dried, today, attempted to remove the tape. Well, the masking tape was very difficult to remove and did not leave me with clean lines. In many places, the tape pulled off paint. And I was pulling very slowly and carefully. In other places, many times, the tape ripped and was VERY DIFFICULT to remove just after one day. It got so bad that I had to get a razor blade and cut along the tape through the paint to ensure clean lines. Not thrilled with the results. I am going to have to go back and do edging touch up which I was hoping to avoid. Sorry. I don't know if the tape had too much adhesive or what. But didn't work for me. Save your money and get regular masking tape. Fletcher V
