FrogTape Delta

An essential painting tool is FrogTape. Equipped with PaintBlock technology, it's in almost every master painter’s gear to deliver a flawless finish. FrogTape has been created for use with latex paint. PaintBlock forms a micro-barrier along the tapes’ edges by chemically reacting with the water in the latex. This is a special attribute that helps prevent the paint from bleeding.

What Does PaintBlock Technology Do?

This is a cross-linked, SAP, or sodium-based Superabsorbent Polymer. This polymer can retain and absorb generous amounts of liquid compared to its own mass. Many industries count on these items such as feminine hygiene products, paper towels and diaper items.



Why Is FrogTape Packaged In A Plastic Container?

Since masking tape is a vital tool, it will last longer if kept clean and dry. Keeping the FrogTape clean and free from debris specifically affects how well it functions. A lot of people reuse these storage containers 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 an excellent painter’s tape for removing from recently painted materials after a minimum of 24 hours without producing any residue. It can also be left on faux finish paint or wallpaper for about sixty days or two months before painting. To prevent the risk of tearing fresh paint, we advise taking away the masking tape immediately after 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 unique FrogTape can handle seven days of UV resistance. It's always recommended to take the masking tape away promptly once the paint job is done to generate a clean finish.



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

Most surfaces allow FrogTape Multi-Surface painter’s tape to enjoy easy removal for one week in direct sunshine or twenty-one days before painting. Remove your masking tape once 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 optimum results. If the paint has dried and it's also pulling up with the tape, or discover that the paint is cracking down the paint line as you’re removing the tape. Refrain from damaging the paint utilizing a razor blade to slice the edge of the tape to facilitate easy removal. For much better removal and a cleaner finish, break the seal in between the paint and the tape.



Why is the FrogTape not sticking to the walls?

Whenever your walls have been painted and the tape won’t stick, it could possibly indicate that the paint isn't thoroughly cured. If the tape is stretched when you put it on or if the wall was inappropriately prepped, the tape can lift off the wall easier. It is important to ensure the surface is dust-free and clean to offer the best paint adhesion. A wall paint primer is great to use to start with to cover flaws and deliver a uncontaminated base for the paint to stick to.
