What happened?
I'm an experienced DIYer and a borderline perfectionist. I used to cut in my trim by hand until I found Frog Tape. I've been using Frog Tape for over 10 years and enjoyed the clean, crisp lines it gave, until recently. For whatever reason, today's paints will bleed thru the edge of the tape even though I use a stiff toothbrush to press it down. I've tried washing the walls with TSP thinking a film was preventing adhesion, but that didn't help. Today's paints seem thicker, almost gelly-like. Not sure what's in them, but it doesn't seem compatible with the adhesive in Frog Tape. Now I have to cut in my trim and ceilings by hand and be annoyed by the lack of a clean, crisp line.

Terrible removal
I've used this tape before never had an issue. Now as I am removing tape it is taking the paint with it!!! I paid way too much money to do this remodel of my kitchen just to have my paint be removed by tape!!! Absolutely awful!!!!

Do not buy
I bought this and used to tape off trim. When I went to remove the tape it peeled off the paint from my walls and caused enough damage that now I will need to mud over to get a nice finish.

Ripped up paint
For a painters tape this is a terrible product. Used it to tape the corners and ceiling of an accent wall and it ripped a huge chunk of my ceiling paint off. Only left it for about 6 hours while I let the paint dry and peeled as carefully as possible but still ripped the paint off. Will never use this product again

Removed the paint
So frustrated. While it did "keep Paint out" it also took off the trim paint when it was removed. Double the work. So not worth the product.

excellent for using for splints on broken bones
I broke a bone in a fall in two places, since we could not get to the doctor for a couple of days, my husband used the frog tape to create a splint to immobilize my foot, it worked great!

I truly wanted to NOT like this brand...
I felt a certain ambiguity about painters tape in general - it was better than masking tape but not as good as promised, across the spectrum of brands, just buy whatever is least expensive. So when I started hearing about FrogTape, it was mostly from Pinterest 'influencers'... you know, the ones who make you read their 3 generation lineage story to find the paint color used in their home. Where's Waldo but with word vomit. Anywho, I was just convinced that this green stuff was no better than all the blue brands, just more expensive. Had a little extra change burning a hole in my pocket in Lowes one day, picked up the green stuff 'just to prove myself right and all those influencers with the perfect coifs and perfect figures and endless budgets wrong'. UGHHHHHHHH!! As far as the painters tape market is concerned, in 2022, FrogTape is bullfrog-length leaps and bounds better than the competition. Well worth the price, comparatively. If ya can't rip it down 9minutes and 59 seconds after applying the last coat, it's least likely to rip the paint, least likely to rip and leave a green sliver, most likely to not cause anxiety and anger after 27000 hours of shoulder-agonizing rolling paint and wrist-agonizing cutting-in. Just get the FrogTape!

Don't believe it!
Used Frogtape on my textured walls. Pressed firmly into crevices. Paint bleed all over. What a mess. I regret now choosing to paint a color instead of basic white again.

We are very sorry to hear that you have some paint bleed. Textured surfaces can be quite tricky. When cutting in, it is best to run a thin coat of your base color along the tape edge first. Doing so activates the PaintBlock Technology and also ensures any initial bleed through that may happen will be the same base color as your wall.

Tape adhesive failed once primer was applied
I used the green tape to mask 4 rooms in a house i had to paint the old classic the ceiling tiles from the 70’s. Two rooms i taped the ceiling trim first, then attached my plastic with another strip directly to the previous applied tape. The other two rooms i applied the tape and plastic sheeting directly to the trim, with only one layer of tape. I have used frog tape both the green and yellow for years even for this same application and never had trouble. This time it was a disaster. After applying the first coat on water based primer, when i went back to spray the second coat, 2 rooms had then plastic on the ground cuz the adhesive had apparently failed after being coated with primer. Keep in mind i made certain the tape was sealed to the trim securely the entire length of the trim, so there would be no bleed, since this was stained trim. I also had cleaned the trim before applying to get any dust off. Also, where the tape had failed to stay adhered, when attempting to put new tape, it would not stick at all to most of the surface of the trim. I had to use clear packing tape to stick the new protective plastic in place. I left the other walls that didn’t come off. So i proceeded to spray the second coat. As i was going the green tape started to fail on the walls that were still up after the initial failure, causing overspray to get on a lot of paneling and trim before I realized it had came loose behind me. As you can imagine, now i have a big mess to try and fix, and it wont be with this tape ever again, this much i promise, cuz it will cost a considerable amount of time and explanation to the owner as to why these issues exist, since they hired me so problems like this didn’t happen. After the second primer coat was dried, upon returning, almost all green tape and yellow tape I had used had failed and the wall plastic was on the ground when i returned. It made me sick to loose all that time and money in supplies, only to have to do it all again as well as remove primer from 50+ year old paneling and triim without ruining the finish. Good luck with that, so nothing i have to say is good after this experience. I have used frog tape for years and always recommended it. Never again they changed something in the adhesive and it is inferior to the previous product. And there is nothing anywhere to alert the consumers of a different product, same package same label. All in all, I lost week of labor and hundreds in supplies due to this mistake. At this point i will have to switch back to 3M, they stepped up their game the last few years after frog tape came along, so hopefully i can depend on their products being consistent in the future. The world we live in is so pathetic and greed stricken, if there is a product that actually works right or better than expected, never expect it to stay that way, cuz big business or big brother can’t have something that actually only requires one application, one usage, like it should. Instead they gotta change everything so they can increase sales volume after they “almost” get the job done, but still need more to finish it. Just like modern medicine. No cure, just monthly treatments and more meds to treat the side effects of the others. Pathetic. Never again for me, sorry for the long review, just highly frustrated.

Only Use FrogTape
I’ve painted almost every room in my house and only use FrogTape. I can be a sloppy painter but I’ve never had a bleed through. For some extra security I run my fingernail down the edge to make sure I seal it off.

BLEEDS THROUGH! NOT AS ADVERTISED
This is a big NOPE for me. I am OBSESSIVE when it comes to taping. Tried this tape 2 different times now and both times it has bled onto my baseboards.

Hi Aimee. We are sorry to hear about your experiences with FrogTape. To prevent paint bleeding its best to go over the edge of the tape with a firm plastic tool like a putty knife or plastic card. If you are painting on a textured wall, it is best to run a thin coat of your base color along the tape edge first. Doing so activates the PaintBlock Technology and also ensures any initial bleed through that may happen will be the same base color as your wall.

We are sorry for your experience with FrogTape. When paint lifts, it could be an indication that the paint underneath did not make a complete bond to the surface, and there are many variables that play into the curing process. Check out of FAQs for tips; https://www.frogtape.com/faq

This tape cannot be trusted. We taped a room, pressed it firm, painted with care, and were very disappointed when we removed to tape and the paint had bled. This added hours of extra work. Thumbs down.

Peeled of the paint
This is the third time (twice on the wall and once on the stairwell) I used this product and the results are still the same. It peeled off my fresh coated paint, while removing the tape. I do not recommend this product.

I’ve been painting all my life and I’ve never had painters’ tape come off this easily, cleanly, or with such sharp edges. I didn’t think anyone would believe this, so I videoed it.

Worst tape ever!
I am painting a lot of rooms in my house so I thought that this would be the best to use & so disappointed! I cleaned the baseboard with soap & water & let dry… the tape didn’t stick well at all! I have a mess to clean up because it didn’t work! I am taking the rolls that I didn’t use back & go back to my 3M tape! Also very hard to remove but didn’t do the job…I did by the green tape
