Product Review: Frog Tape
I've been doing a little bit of painting these past few days. We had to repaint the family room walls and decided to paint the ceiling a new color. Before painting the wall, I bought a new roll of blue tape to mask around the windows and the doors. The problem I have with blue tape is leaking at the edges and pulling up old paint, but it's certainly better than using ordinary old masking tape.

We used an entire roll of blue tape up while doing the walls, so I returned to the hardware store for more. But instead of blue tape, I saw this roll of green tape called Frog Tape. The packaging promises "Perfect Paint Lines" and it seems to have delivered. I've been pulling off the tape in a few places and there doesn't appear to have been any paint bleeding. But the green stuff still did pull up some old paint in a few places.

Summary: Worth an extra buck to upgrade from blue.
