FrogTape Port Moody

One of the primary painting instruments is FrogTape. Outfitted with PaintBlock technology, it is in almost every master painter’s gear to deliver a flawless finish. This tape was designed specifically with latex paint. PaintBlock develops a micro-barrier along the tapes’ edges by chemically reacting with the water inside the latex. This stops the paint from bleeding to develop a clean finish.

What Does PaintBlock Technology Do?

PaintBlock is considered an SAP or sodium-based cross-linked Superabsorbent Polymer. It is capable of absorbing and retaining large amounts of liquid when 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. The canister packaging prevents the FrogTape from being damaged while keeping debris and dirt aside. Many people reuse these canisters for recycling their shop anchoring screws, bolts, nuts, nails and other items.

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

This is a terrific painter’s tape for removing from freshly painted surfaces after a minimum of 24 hours without producing any residue. It can also be left on faux finish paint or wallpaper for an estimated sixty days or two months before painting. To prevent the possibility of ripping fresh paint, we advise taking away 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 type of FrogTape offers UV resistance for 1 week. 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?

This product can come off residue-free from the majority of locations for 21 days and or One week in direct sun. To avoid the risk of having your fresh paint tear accidentally, it is suggested that the masking tape is taken away right after you finish painting.

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

Taking the painter’s tape off while the paint is wet soon after painting is recommended for optimum results. If the paint has dried and it's also pulling up with the tape, or observe that the paint is cracking down the paint line as you’re removing the tape. If this happens, stop pulling the tape and employ a razor blade to score the tape instead. It is possible to achieve a cleaner line and superior 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?

As soon as your walls have been painted and the tape won’t stick, it could indicate that the paint isn't thoroughly cured. When the surface is not accurately prepped, it can lift away from the wall if stretching occurred during application. Preparing the area carefully is essential to making sure it is free from dust. Using a wall primer initially is beneficial to be certain the paint layer will be bonded well for pristine results.
