Why should you use painters tape?

You usually use paper tape, or worse, duct tape for your painting job? Stop! Now! Let us tell you why you should use painters tape instead.

Painters tape is specifically designed to prevent paint from bleeding into masked off areas and to be removed without any unwanted residue. Masking tape, instead, is an older and thicker kind of tape, and the adhesive used is formulated to maintain an adequate hold.

The most significant difference between masking and painter’s tapes is that painter’s tapes have a clean removal after the job is done, while masking tapes tend to leave residue behind if left up for the duration of a paint project.
