The tape does not stick too strongly so when you peel it off, it would not also take whatever it's stuck to unlike duct tape and so on. It's excellent for not allowing paint to get through when painting different sections. I would definitely recommend and will use again if doing paint work in the future.

I painted my kitchen and used the blue painter's tape to protect my cabinets. Not only was there a lot of paint leakage that I had to clean up, but on a couple of my cabinets, the finish was damaged. The tape was only on for a couple of hours. I'll just do it freehand next time. Not worth the time, effort, and damage.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] ScotchBlue painter's tape works better than all the others. It adheres to all surfaces and removes easily, even days later. I used to buy the cheap stuff thinking it would work as well for painting. No it does not! It tears when you try to remove it and if you don't remove it right away, it will be impossible to get off. I learned the hard way that it makes the job easier and look better to buy the good stuff. ScotchBlue is the best!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Use this to mask off the painted area in my bathroom prior to painting the trim it has pulled the paint right off the walls and now will have to be sanded and re painted.... this is a huge mess! I was trying to get a good paint job and what I have ended up with is a total mess and several days to repair and re paint! Horrible product

We have used the tape as directed for lining out ares for painting and it works very well to maintain separation from painted and non-painted surfaces. I have spent time working with my brother at Black River Center for Learning at Carlsbad, NM where he manages a retreat center. Beyond the projects involving paint and repairs, he prepares meals for the groups coming there for a break from their lifestyle and always has some food left over that needs to be stored. So it is also good for marking various food containers that need to be refrigerated or frozen. The tape holds tight enough to stay, yet releases without causing harm to a container or even plastic baggies and the color contrast helps with seeing the markings of contents. This allows us to know the contents and date of food item without having to open the container each time to see. Other uses would be simply to hold an item in location on a painted wall until you find an alternative substance or solution is found to hold it on a more permanent basis. We used it on a variety of surfaces from painted drywall, bathroom tile, swimming pool tiles and even glass windows.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] 3M provided this product for me to review. I used it to paint a pattern and wanted to get the lines straight. This tape worked perfectly and it stuck to the wall while I painted. The tape actually stuck to the wall for several hours while the paint dried. I will be using this from now on and glad I can count on it. When I took the tape off, there was no damage to the walls either.

Spraying a ceiling after walls were painted, taped plastic to the painted walls, actually to go back and staple the plastic/ tape to the walls because it wasn't sticking. Walls were painted just over a month ago. Now, trying to spray the ceiling and at almost every place the I spray were the ceiling and wall meet, the tape curls up. I took sever pictures with my phone, but could only load 1. Room temperature is 65 degrees. Never again will I use this worthless tape. Costing me more time to use than its worth!!!

I recently painted over a wall that was very brightly colored. It took 3 coats of primer to cover it, then I followed with two coats of paint. I allowed proper drying time on all coats, and allowed it to cure at low humidity for a few days before moving on to the next wall. I taped up the cured wall to paint the next one, and when I removed the tape it pulled off the coats of paint and the primer to reveal the original color! This has put me behind in my project, and has created significantly more work for me. Next time I will buy something better quality.

I give this product 4 out of 5 stars only because the tape tends to rip in certain spots when trying to peel it back from the wall after painting. Only a minor gliche but otherwise works perfect!! And makes for great tape baseballs once we are done and we crush it all and put them in ball form! :)

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like this product for paining but I also apply it to finish wood surfaces for marking and scribing. It allows me to mark the wood without marring the finish but the color is so dark it's hard to see a pencil line. I'd like to see a cream color option as is used on masking tape.
