Painter’s Mate Green® Masking Tape

Follow these tips when choosing your painter’s tape.

• Don’t go by Cost: You can’t judge a tape by price; whether it’s the most or the least expensive does not mean it will be any easier to apply or remove.

• Know What You’re Painting: Different tapes are designed to adhere to different materials. There are tapes made specifically for these surfaces:
  • Wallpaper
  • Drywall
  • Metals
  • Woodwork

• Know Where You’re Painting: Indoor or outdoor matters when it comes to tape. Using an outdoor tape indoors could mean you have tape that’s very difficult to remove; indoor tapes may not do well in the elements.

• Consider the Sun: It’s probably best to get a tape that’s UV resistant. Tapes that don’t have protection from ultraviolet rays of the sun can actually “bake” onto surfaces, making them near impossible to remove.
