FrogTape Canada

FrogTape is a vital painting resource. It is in every pro painter’s supplies and is treated with PaintBlock technology for fantastic results. FrogTape was created for use with latex paint. PaintBlock creates a micro-barrier along the tapes’ edges by chemically reacting with the water inside the latex. This is a unique attribute that helps stop the paint from bleeding.

How Does PaintBlock Technology Work?

PaintBlock is considered an SAP or sodium-based cross-linked Superabsorbent Polymer. As compared to its own mass, this special polymer will be able to absorb and hold huge amounts of liquid. This technology has been employed for years in many daily items such as paper towels, feminine hygiene and diaper items.



Why Does FrogTape Come In A Plastic Container?

Since masking tape is a crucial tool, it will endure longer if kept clean and free of moisture. The canister packaging stops the FrogTape from being ruined while keeping debris and dirt off. These handy little canisters can be reused for holding beads and craft items or in the shop for holding hardware, nuts and bolts.

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

The FrogTape Delicate Surface Painter’s Tape can be left on freshly painted surfaces for a minimum of 24 hours before being taken off without leaving behind any sticky residue. Faux finish paint or wallpaper can manage it for two months or Sixty days prior to painting. Taking away your masking tape right after you finish painting can minimize the risk of your fresh paint tearing.

When FrogTape Multi-Surface is left on a surface in the direct sunshine, how long before it needs to be removed?

This unique FrogTape can handle a week of UV resistance. It is recommended that the masking tape is taken off immediately after painting for the most pristine results.



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

The FrogTape Multi-Surface painter’s tape should come off residue-free for most surfaces for 21 days or 7 days in direct sunshine before painting. Remove your masking tape as soon as you finish painting to prevent any tearing potential of your fresh paint.

What is the timeframe for leaving FrogTape on before removal?

Taking the painter’s tape off while the fresh paint is wet just after painting is recommended for best results. If the paint has dried and it is pulling up with the tape, or observe that the paint is cracking along the paint line as you’re removing the tape. Prevent damaging the paint utilizing a razor blade to slice the edge of the tape to expedite easy removal. Breaking the seal between the tape as well as the paint provides simpler removal and a cleaner line.



Why is the FrogTape not sticking to the walls?

As soon as your walls have been painted and the tape won’t stick, it can indicate that the paint is not totally cured. When the tape is stretched when you apply it or if the wall was improperly prepped, the tape can lift off the wall easier. It is vital to prepare the surface properly by cleaning it to ensure it is dust-free. Use a wall primer as your first step to make sure paint will bond properly and all blemishes are looked after.
