I bought this tape, thinking it was going to make my painting life easier. I put it on my trim on the wall to paint and I took it off after I was done and all the paint from the trim came off with it.

Definitely not the same tape
Clearly the product has changed. I had two rolls of green tape from a previous project and purchased two new rolls for a basement project.
The older tape worked flawlessly. The two newer rolls have so far resulted in five tears and I stopped halfway through due to frustration.
Paint is dry (four months) and again note the fact the old stuff worked fine in the exact same room.
Noticed more force required to remove the newer stuff, could visibly see the tape adhesive 'lifting' the paint before releasing. Paint is four months old, all work was done same day (tape, paint remove).
Used to be a fan of Frog Tape however with the hours of repair ahead of me will not be using in the future.

Used this to paint my dining room, and as I was removing the tape, it took the existing paint off of my wall!! Now I will have to paint the wall that I was intending to leave. What a waste of time and money. I will NEVER buy Frogtape AGAIN!!!!

Pulled paint off ceiling and walls
We were told this green tape was great and better than the blue painters tape. Not our experience at all. Painting bathrooms and took paint off both the ceiling and the walls. So how I have to touch up both The tape is supposed to make nice edges but instead causes more work. Also pulled paint off front door masking off the window Returned tow packages but now stuck with two rolls which are useless to us.

No better than good old blue painters tape.
Just just didn’t do as advertised. Did it help keep the lines clean as I had hoped.

Warning do not buy.
I was using the frog tap to keep grout from getting on the ceiling. This tape wasn’t on the ceiling for 1 hour. What a waste of money. Will not be buying their products again. Caused more work for me. Would have been better just to repaint where I got grout on the ceiling pulled paper off the entire 72”.

Paint pulls off in places
With many surfaces Frogtape works well, but with others it is prone to pull paint off the wall. The wall been skim-coated and primed and painted with mid-grade Sherwin Williams paint a year ago, but when taping the wall while painting wood casing I found that in a third of the places the paint came off the wall when removing Frogtape. The tape had been on the wall only a few hours and I removed the tape at the angle recommended by Frogtape.

Awesome tape! Stay away from the blue stuff!
This tape is so worth the extra bucks in time savings alone. Love this tape so much that we color matched the tape and painted a bedroom that color. Heh. Sweet color.

Didn’t get paint on the ceiling, but ruined it
Should have taken my chances without the tape. Now my ceiling needs to be patched and painted. No matter how I peeled this tape, it took the ceiling paint along with it. Garbage

AWFUL
We used this to strip wood without stripping our walls and then to varnish the wood we stripped. We got this tape specifically because of its reviews, however, it was a nightmare. The tape took off so much paint when we were stripping- not a flake or two, but many huge chunks. We are going to have to sand or plaster before we re paint. We already had the tape and that damage was already done so we figured why not, and went ahead with using it for the wood finish. It leaked everywhere, despite having spent so long pressing the tape into the walls trying to prevent more damage. At this point it feels like ripping out the wall would make less of a mess- any kind of tape would have done better than this and we are so deeply disappointed

Great item
Repainting my wife’s office at home was on our list of things to do. My wife wanted specific colors, but she also wanted an accent wall with stripes I’ve had issues with other masking tape where you could bleed under because the tape does not give you a sealed edge, frog tape was an option but I shade away at first because of the cost but decided to purchase anyway because I wanted to do the job right the first time. Boy I’m glad I did. The frog tape worked tremendously and the project came off without a hitch . Once again, you get what you pay for, so paying a little more for frog tape in my world was worth it. Thank you again for an awesome product.

Used FrogTape on my walls so I could paint baseboards, literally ripped the paint and gyproc in some place. I have used frogtape before, and had good results. Now we have a whole new expensive job of fixing the walls and painting…significant time and money. NOT IMPRESSED!!

Garbage Product - don't use!
I used this to tape off my ceiling so I'd have a nice sharp line between ceiling and walls, it was applied for approx 48 hrs and the paint had almost 20 hrs dry time. When I peeled it off it took the wall paint with it. Now I'll need to re-tape (another brand) and repaint all over again. Doubled my work effort.

Hi! We are very sorry to see you had some paint tear while using FrogTape. When old paints lifts like this, it is an indication that it did not make a complete bond to the surface. We recommend removing the tape while the paint is still wet. If the paint dries and you notice that the paint is pulling up with the tape, or that the paint is cracking along the paint line as you remove the tape, score along the edge of the tape with a razor blade before removing.

No Better Than Blue.
Sorry, FrogTape, you are no better than standard blue painters tape. After doing four other accent walls with blue painters tape (and having to do touch-ups when done) I finally broke down and bought a roll of your tape. I used it on my last small wall with hopes your claim would ring true and I wouldn’t have the headache of the same touch-ups I had to do before with Blue. Unfortunately yours was only a tad better, if that. Not worth the extra $. Sorry! I gave it a shot.

Hi Stan! We are sorry to see that FrogTape pulled the paint off the wall. When paint lifts like this, it is could be an indication that it did not make a complete bond to the surface. Unfortunately, there are too many variables involved in how paint cures (such as how many coats, dark colors, humidity and temperature), so we can't say for sure why this happened.

Worked on canvas.
I used regular painters' tape and wasted a canvas. With Frogtape, I got clean, hard lines. I wish it came in narrower widths, however.

Not up to par!
Been using the 3M blue tape and decided to try Frog tape. I've been having good results with the blue but I wanted an edge as clean as possible, painting the ceiling white against a tan wall. The Frog tape left the worst edge ever! I don't know if I can get a close enough color match to fix it as a lot of custom colors are not available anymore due to 2020 shortages.

Not Impressed
3 years ago we hired painters to paint our main floor walls. This year we decided to paint the trim ourselves and bought Frogtape to protect the walls. It made a total mess of our drywall and now I don’t have paint from three years ago to repair. Very disappointed and frustrated

Be Careful!
We bought the Frog Tape for delicate surfaces because it was suppose to be for wallpaper and delicate surfaces. Well that proved to be untrue. It not only pulled the color off our wallpaper, it actually took the finish off our medicine cabinet! Now I have to patch the wallpaper border and most likely replace the medicine cabinet because I don’t think we will be able to match the stain. Expensive mistake! Learned not to trust everything you read!
