FrogTape

A crucial painting tool is FrogTape. Every expert painter relies upon it. It has PaintBlock technology to produce competent results. FrogTape is intended to be used alongside latex paint formulas. PaintBlock forms a micro-barrier along the tapes’ edges by chemically responding with the water in the latex. This is a exclusive characteristic that helps prevent the paint from bleeding.

What is PaintBlock Technology?

This is a cross-linked, SAP, or sodium-based Superabsorbent Polymer. This polymer can maintain and absorb generous amounts of liquid compared to its own mass. Countless industries depend on these items like feminine hygiene products, paper towels and diaper items.



Why Is FrogTape Packaged In A Plastic Container?

The tape is an essential tool and keeping it dry and clean is easier when it travels in a plastic canister. Keeping the FrogTape clean and free from debris specifically affects how well it works. The empty canisters are great to recycle or handy in your shop for nails, screws, bolts, nuts, etc.

How long is the FrogTape Delicate Surface timeline safe to leave on my trim and walls?

This is a terrific painter’s tape for removing from freshly painted areas after a minimum of 24 hours without leaving any residue. It can also be left on faux finish paint or wallpaper for roughly sixty days or two months before painting. Taking away your masking tape immediately after you finish painting can reduce the risk of your fresh paint tearing.

What is the timeframe for leaving FrogTape Multi-Surface on a location that is directly in the sun?

This kind of FrogTape offers UV resistance for 7 days. Usually, masking tape is promptly removed once the painting is complete to deliver crisp results.



How long can FrogTape Multi-Surface stay on my trim or walls?

Most areas allow FrogTape Multi-Surface painter’s tape to enjoy easy removal for one week in direct sunshine or twenty-one days ahead of painting. To avoid the risk of having your fresh paint tear accidentally, it is recommended that the masking tape is removed right after you complete painting.

What is the timeframe for leaving FrogTape on before removal?

It is much better to take the tape off once the paint is still wet. If the paint has dried and it's also pulling up with the tape, or notice that the paint is cracking along the paint line as you’re removing the tape. Avoid damaging the paint utilizing a razor blade to cut the edge of the tape to assist in easy removal. Breaking the seal between the tape along with the paint provides quicker removal and a cleaner line.



Why is the FrogTape not sticking to the walls?

Whenever your walls have been painted and the tape won’t stick, it can indicate that the paint isn't totally cured. If the tape is stretched when you apply it or if the wall was incorrectly prepped, the tape can lift off the wall easier. Preparing the surface carefully is really important to making sure it is exempt from dust. A wall paint primer is great to use to start with to cover imperfections and deliver a perfect base for the paint to stick to.
