FrogTape Canada

FrogTape is an essential painting piece of equipment. Almost every seasoned painter depends on it. It includes PaintBlock technology to deliver competent results. FrogTape was developed to be used along with latex paint formulas. 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 generate a clean finish.

What is PaintBlock Technology?

PaintBlock is considered an SAP or sodium-based cross-linked Superabsorbent Polymer. It is ideal for absorbing and retaining large sums of liquid when compared to its own mass. Various industries rely on these items including feminine hygiene products, paper towels and diaper items.

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

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

Taking the painter’s tape off while the fresh paint is wet just after painting is recommended for optimum results. When the paint has begun to dry, you may notice cracking across the paint line or that it pulls up when you try to eliminate the tape. If this occurs, stop pulling the tape and employ a razor blade to score the tape instead. It is possible to achieve a cleaner line and better removal if the seal is removed between the paint and the tape.



Why won’t my FrogTape stick to the walls?

When your walls have been painted and the tape won’t stick, it could possibly indicate that the paint isn't completely cured. When 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 vital to prep the surface effectively by cleaning it to be sure it is dust-free. A wall primer is great to use to start with to cover blemishes and deliver a perfect base for the paint to adhere to.
