Title: Ever seen this stuff?
Post by: wwwarbird on April 30, 2015, 10:11:42 PM
 I've used yellow Frog Tape a lot since discovering it a few years ago, it is GREAT stuff. y1

 I just stumbled across their "shape" tape tonight, and there's even a scallop version! This might be just the ticket for adding a little detail to a quick and easy paint scheme. I've yet to see these types in the stores, has anyone seen it on the shelves anywhere?

I like the 3m painter's tape. The "orange" (that has orange printing on it) is the really fine line stuff. I use 3M vinyl tape for some stuff but mostly the painter's tape. I tried Frog tape but didn't have as good results.

 Yup, I keep a selection of all of those on hand too and I use them all regularly. I've yet to ever find any 3M product that didn't work well. I decided long ago that 3M must be in direct "cahoots" with AREA 51. ;D
 
 To me, as far as the whole tape thing goes, deciding which one to use just depends what I'm trying to accomplish at that particular time. One thing I really like about yellow Frog Tape is you can see through it if necessary for lining things up. In general, I've also been real happy with the edges it leaves.
