FrogTape Canada

FrogTape is an important painting resource. Almost every seasoned painter relies on it. It includes PaintBlock technology to supply pro results. FrogTape is intended to be used along with latex paint formulas. PaintBlock generates a micro-barrier across the edges of the tape which creates a chemical reaction with the water in the latex paint. This produces a barrier to stop the paint from bleeding.

How Does PaintBlock Technology Work?

PaintBlock is considered an SAP or sodium-based cross-linked Superabsorbent Polymer. This polymer can hold on to and absorb substantial amounts of liquid as compared to its own mass. Baby diapers, feminine hygiene products and paper towels have trusted this technology for years.



Why Is FrogTape Packaged In A Plastic Container?

The packaging has been created to help keep the tape dry and clean. This packaging enables the FrogTape to stay free from debris and dirt. A lot of people reuse these canisters for recycling their shop screws, bolts, nuts, nails and other items.

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

FrogTape Delicate Surface Painter’s Tape will extract without depositing a residue from freshly painted surfaces (a minimum of 24 hours), wallpaper and faux paint coating for an estimated two months or sixty days prior to painting. To reduce the risk of having recent paint tear it is advised to remove the masking tape as soon as your painting is finished.

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

This kind of FrogTape offers a week of UV resistance. It's usually recommended to take the masking tape off right away once the paint job is done to generate a clean finish.



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

This item can come off residue-free from nearly all locations for 21 days as well as 7 days in direct sun. To stop the risk of having your fresh paint tear accidentally, it is recommended that the masking tape is removed right after you complete painting.

What is the timeframe for leaving FrogTape on before removal?

We suggest removing the painter’s tape when the paint is still wet. If the paint has dried and it's also pulling up with the tape, or discover that the paint is cracking along the paint line as you’re removing the tape. If this occurs, stop pulling the tape and employ a razor blade to score the tape instead. For much better removal and a cleaner finish, separate the seal in between the paint and the tape.



Why won’t my FrogTape stick to the walls?

As soon as 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 apply it or if the wall was incorrectly prepped, the tape can lift off the wall easier. It is essential to ensure the surface is dust-free and thoroughly clean to offer the best paint bond. A wall paint primer is great to use first to cover blemishes and deliver a uncontaminated base for the paint to adhere to.
