FrogTape

A crucial painting tool is FrogTape. It is definitely in almost every pro painter’s gear and is treated with PaintBlock technology for fantastic results. FrogTape is actually designed for use with latex paint. A micro-barrier is created by the PaintBlock around the edges of the tape as it produces a chemical reaction together with the water in the latex. This inhibits the paint from bleeding to create a clean finish.

What is PaintBlock Technology?

This is a cross-linked, SAP, or sodium-based Superabsorbent Polymer. Compared to its own mass, this special polymer will be able to absorb and hold considerable amounts of liquid. Diapers, feminine hygiene items and paper towels have trusted this technology for years.



Why Does FrogTape Come In A Plastic Container?

Since masking tape is an important tool, it will last longer if kept clean and dry. Keeping the FrogTape clean and free from debris precisely affects how well it works. The empty canisters are great to recycle or use in your shop for nails, anchoring screws, mounting bolts, nuts, etc.

What is the timeline for leaving the FrogTape Delicate Surface product on my walls and trim?

FrogTape Delicate Surface Painter’s Tape will remove without depositing a residue from recently painted surfaces (a minimum of 24 hours), wallpaper and faux paint coating for an estimated two months or sixty days in advance of painting. To minimize the risk of having new paint tear it is advised to remove the masking tape once your painting is finished.

How long can FrogTape Multi-Surface be left on a surface that is in direct sunshine?

This particular FrogTape can handle seven days of UV resistance. It is recommended that the masking tape is taken away immediately after painting for the cleanest results.



What is the timeframe for leaving FrogTape Multi-Surface able to stay on my trim or walls?

Most areas allow FrogTape Multi-Surface painter’s tape to savor easy removal for seven days in direct sunshine or twenty-one days prior to painting. Remove your masking tape once you finish painting to prevent any tearing potential of your fresh paint.

How long should I leave FrogTape on before removing it from the surface?

We propose removing the painter’s tape when the paint is still wet. Sometimes, the paint has dried witout a doubt and you will observe it pulling up with the tape. If you notice cracking paint down the line when you try to remove it. Use a razor blade to score along the tape’s edge prior to removing. You'll be able to achieve a cleaner line and better removal if the seal is removed between the paint and the tape.



What does it mean if the FrogTape isn’t sticking to the wall?

If the paint hasn't cured absolutely, the paint is not going to stick to recently painted walls. If the tape is stretched when you use it or if the wall was incorrectly prepped, the tape can lift off the wall easier. It is important to ensure the surface is dust-free and thoroughly clean to present the best paint adhesion. Using a wall primer first is useful to be certain the paint layer will be bonded well for excellent results.
