ScotchBlueOriginal Multi-Surface Painters Tape, 1 Inch Wide (0.94 In. x 60 Yds), 6 Rolls, Blue Paint Tape Protects Surfaces and Removes Easily, Masking Tape for Indoor and Outdoor Use (2090-24EP6)

Great price and quality of tape

Scotch Blue Painter’s Tape is hands-down my favorite. Is there other tape out there? Sure. But this is the one I trust every time. It pulls off cleanly and easily, without leaving residue or damaging surfaces.I use it both at home and at work, and as a PE teacher, I especially love how it holds up during activities but still removes with no hassle when I’m done. It’s reliable, versatile, and lasts as long as I need it to.

I use mainly on acrylic paintings to cover up work I do not want disturbed by new paint. It works well for this purpose. If there is a heavy amount of paint, the paint will bleed underneath. Using a masking glue with the tape will help. The tape is easy to use for bulk coverage. It is easy to apply and and easy to remove.

Package came as several loose rolls separated from a bulk pack. Edges were dented and bent. This causes nuisance and pain when trying to tape straight edges and get them to seal.

This is better than the orange tape when using to mask off before painting. It does not adhere so strongly that it rips off the surface you are trying to protect. For best results, however, after you finish painting, remove the tape from the wall carefully and it will come off easily. I noticed when using the “orange tape”, if you forget to take it off the same day, it will discolor the paint you were masking off with an orange tinge. Be for warned because you will need to repaint the area you were trying to protect. I have not experienced this with the blue tape.

I buy this in bulk to hang up school artwork on our walls, but it’s MOSTLY an imagination tool for my kids to create whatever pops into their little heads. Here are some examples: delineate an obstacle course, make eye-masks for the stuffies, make a tiny gondola, make bandages for injured stuffies, tie a weird selection of objects together, etc. The best part is, when it’s time to remove the creations so we can walk through the house again, the tape is easily removed from objects, and it’s paper tape so no plastic waste to haunt your conscience. I don’t know about the glue; it does irritate my kids’ skin (no tape eye-masks for them) but so do regular boo-boo bandages; they may just have sensitive skin. Well worth the investment for creative play (without electrons or screens)!

Good quality painters tape.

I was going to buy the cheap stuff, but after reading some of the reviews, decided to go with the 'tried and true.'
