Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between masking tape and painter's tape?

Both masking tape and painter's tape are made of crepe paper, but they have one key difference - the adhesion. Masking tape has a stronger adhesive and is designed to stay stuck. Painter's tape has a lower tack and is designed to be removed easily.

Painter's tape is also designed to minimize paint bleed whereas masking tape does not prevent paint bleed.

What are the different types of painter's tape?

Painter's tape comes in a variety of types and colors. They each have a specific use. The most common types of painter's tape are:

1. Multi-Purpose Painter's Tape - the most popular painter's tape on the market and is suitable for most common paint projects. This tape is most often blue in color and has a medium tack adhesive.

2. Rough/Multi Surface Painter's Tape - a higher tack and stronger adhesion tape than blue painter's tape. Because of the increased adhesion it is designed for use on rough or uneven surfaces. This tape should not be used on drywall or other sensitive surfaces as it can cause damage upon removal. This tape is typically green in color.

3. Delicate Surface Painter's Tape - commonly yellow in color, this tape has a very low tack adhesion. It is often used on soft or delicate surfaces or in projects when the tape will not be left on long like painting stripes. Some delicate surface tapes are purple in color.

4. Exterior Surface Painter's Tape - this paint offers the maximum adhesion of all painter's tape as it is designed to stay on the surface for days and withstand the elements.

Understanding the differences in painter's tape will help you select the best option to achieve optimal results in your project. Determine the surface, time tape will be left in place and how wide of space you want to cover when deciding what option is best.

How long can I leave painter's tape in place before removing?

Although many painter's tapes are able to be left in place for days and sometimes weeks, it is best to remove as soon as possible after painting. The more the paint has dried the harder it will be to remove the tape and may require a putty knife or razor blade edge to score it for removal. Peeling at a 45-degree angle makes removal easier.

What are some features of your painter's tape, such as size and availability?

Painter's tape is a must-have for any serious DIY enthusiast or professional painter, offering clean lines and easy removal. Let's explore the essential features that make it an ideal choice:

Versatile Sizes

  • Wide Range of Widths: Painter's tape comes in various widths to accommodate different needs. Common options include 0.94 inches, 1.41 inches, 1.88 inches, and 2.83 inches. This variety ensures you can select the perfect width for any project, whether you're protecting wide surfaces or working on intricate details.
  • Standard Lengths: Typically, each roll stretches up to 60 yards, providing ample tape to cover large areas or complete multiple projects without frequent re-purchasing.

Convenient Multi-Roll Packs

  • Cost-Effective Bundles: Buying in bulk can offer better value. Multi-roll packs are available, such as three-roll or six-roll options, allowing for extended use and reduced cost per roll. This is ideal for both professionals needing large quantities and homeowners planning multiple home improvement tasks. We also offer larger box options on not only our painter's tape but for most of the products on our site.
