The temporary, but positive sealing of ScotchBlue Painter's tape allows for a variety of uses. Aside from masking painted surfaces, I have used this tape to temporarily seal containers, post signage and secure/clamp parts prior to connecting with permanent adhesives or fasteners. It holds fast, but removes easily without any evidence of adhesive residue or marring of the surface to which it was attached.

I bought this to use on three projects. 1. bottom of an old metal shower 2. top of an old water tank in the kitchen 3. outside on old asphalt siding. So far I've removed the tape on two projects, the water tank and asphalt siding. The tape pulled the paint off the the water tank and asphalt siding where it was placed to create a safe line. Haven't tried the shower yet. I am MOST DISCOURAGED by this project. I have used blue painters' tape for decades, probably not Scotch. The hardware store had nothing to say. Now I start over again on the projects, and NOT with Scotch.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Good tape.I use this tape all the time for many different applications.It does not leave any residue of the surface that you put it on.Leaves a good paint line when used for painting and is easy to come off after.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So many uses, and works like a charm! I've always used this when painting around the house, but it has come in handy for multiple arts/crafts projects over the years. It's now a trusted staple in our household!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was very disappointed with 3M's Scotchblue painter's tape. After only 3 days, we carefully removed the tape to find that it had taken out a strip of our existing ceiling paint (which we did not have plans to repaint). Our ceiling paint had been done just the year before. We purchased the best tape (we thought) so that we would not have any issues. Instead, we ended up with a headache and another paint job to do. I do hope that 3M will take responsibility and compensate us in some way.

As a fine arts painter, with and M.F.A. in Drawing and Painting, I have explored a number of materials and techniques to express my relatively technical paintings. The 2090 was easily applied and trimmed, allowed for several overlays used in more complex designs, and easily removed with crisp edges everywhere, as desired. I wish I had found this tape years ago. I look forward to many hours of stress-free designing and painting with the 2090 tape. Thank you! PS: I'll send several images of my paintings in the next day or so. Please save this review if at all possible to join with my forthcoming images. I'm responding to this activity at midnight and wasn't ready to share my work with the review. Sorry.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product free to use and give my opinion and I have to say it seems to be great. It's not fall yet when we do painting and stuff so I have no pictures but I did try it where I had some touchup to do and it worked great.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use this tape to block or mask out various shapes on my canvas so that I may paint around an area of the painting. The tape prevents bleeding though to the blocked area. I really appreciate having a great tape to use.

[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.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great product, easy to use, removes easy after painting with crisp paint lines with minimal bleed through. Works great with my painting tape dispensers. Easy to tear manually or using a tape knife for clean edges.
