• "The frog tape has stayed in place perfectly."
• "It sticks great and peels off with ease without any bleeding or pulling off paint."
• "This is the only tape I get for textured walls and surfaces. It sticks easily to difficult surfaces."
• "This 'green' frog tape works like it is expected to. I make sure the tape is snug to the wall and when I pull it from the wall there is no paint coming through."

Cons:

• "Leaked paint contrary to their advertising & pulled up paint."
• "Adheres to everything except where you want it to. Difficult to place, impossible to reposition."

• "Tore up my walls while we were painting our trim."
• "I had so much paint to go underneath the tape when it was taped on the wall."

Usability

Pros:

• "Pulls off easier."
• "It comes up super easily, and there is ZERO bleed through."
• "Used this to tape something to my classroom floor and it was great. Didn’t leave marks on the floor, held the item down nicely and was easy to remove."
• "Tape works much better than the blue scotch painters tape in my opinion. No paint bleeding as long as you apply the tape correctly."
• "The container makes it easy to store and the price is reasonable for the quality."
• "I actually bought this for a non-painting project. Wanted to tape some things to a wall for a vinyl mural project."
• "What I love about Frog tape is simply that if I use it to pack things away for a time on say bubble wrap or cardboard boxes I can take the tape off easily 98% of the time."

Cons:

• "I don't know why people are obsessed with this tape. It's so expensive and it doesn't even rip straight."
• "Performance comparable to similar tapes from other brands."
• "It doesn't stick. I used this on wood, on a microwave, on painted walls."
• "This tape is frustrating garbage that will have you screaming at your walls."
• "Using Frog tape while painting helps create nice lines, but you will still have paint pull off your walls when you take off this tape...at a premium cost."
• "On most occasions when it did stick, I would come back to half of it hanging off the walls."
• "This is the worst tape ever and it’s the most expensive."

Effectiveness

Pros:

• "After using Frog Tape, I will never use the other stuff again. This tape is amazing, leaving a nice clean straight line with no bleed through."
• "I taped lines & they came out clean with no bleeding under it."
• "I will never use another tape again. I’ve tried so many types of masking tape for my artwork and they all failed me including 3m’s blue tape. This tape is perfect."
• "It’s worked great on our textured walls and stops most of the paint from seeping onto baseboards or any other place we don’t want it."
• "Frog tape is much better than other tape at ensuring a straight line when you pain. Very little bleed through even on orange peel texture wall."
• "No bleed. I also wait only about 5 minutes after painting to remove the tape."
• "This tape is so much better than the blue painters tape. Paint doesn't bleed through, and it doesn't take off the existing paint when you remove it from the wall."

Cons:

• "I found this harder to use than other tape and paint bled around the tape."
• "It earns one star for marketing because Frogtape sounds cool, like it's some kind special adhesive multi-surface painting tape---Unfortunately it's pure crap."
• "The tape claimed a clean pull for up to 21 days after application. Left it on for only a few days to give some trim work a few coats. Pulled up the wall paint in several spots when removed."
• "Tape worked on small first paint job. Stored it in its case for couple of years & it no longer sticks."
• "Ruined my paint job. The tape was on the wall for two hours.....upon removal it tore the paper off the drywall."
• "So , I don't normally leave reviews, but I figured this was worth it. I bought this tape with the impression it's better than the legendary blue standard tape, wrong, this tape sucks."
• "Definitely didn't work as advertised and what I've been told over the years for frog tape. Nothing special at all and it took off old paint when I removed the tape."
