A Review and ScotchBlue Painters Tape With Edge-Lock Give Away

The folks at ScotchBlue Painters Tape with Edge-lock contacted me to see if I was interested in doing a review for them. Sure, I thought, why not.

I received a very nice package that looked like this. Although, being the bad blogger I am I forgot to take a picture so I borrowed this one from Hennessey House. A great blog by the way--check it out.

Once, I received my package I had to come up with some projects to use the ScotchBlue Painters Tape With Edge-lock on.

First up, I have this white dresser in my family room that holds crayons and coloring books. I decided to add a stripe. I got it all taped up and used some paint I had in the garage. This took no time at all.

The moment of truth. Time to remove the tape. You never know what to expect. Exactly how the lines are going to look. Take a look at this--perfect. No leakage.

Nice work ScotchBlue Painters Tape with Edge-Lock. Here is the finished dresser. I think I want to age the stripe up a bit, but look at those straight lines!

My next project was to paint a wall mounted frame. This project was a little different--the painters tape was going to be applied to a textured wall.



I have to say after painting the frame and removing the tape--there was some leakage. ScotchBlue Painters Tape with Edge-Lock didn't perform as well when applied to texture. Usually when painting on texture with a taped of section I "seal" the tape first like I did here, but for the review I wanted to see how it went without.



My third and final test for the ScotchBlue Painters Tape was to update the mat from a picture frame. In the picture below you will notice there is a thin pink line under the white mat. I wanted to change that. So I taped up the mats and painted.

Finished product--Scotchblue nailed it again perfectly straight lines.



Yes I realize that is a different picture in the frame. As I mentioned earlier, I am a bad blogger. I had two frames to do and messed up picture taking, but it was the same process for both and both came out great.

So in conclusion, ScotchBlue Painters Tape with Edge-lock worked great on surfaces without texture. I was able to place and re-place the same piece without the Edge-Lock being compromised and removal was a snap.

The people at ScotchBlue not only sent me Painters Tape with Edge-Lock to review, but they are offering 16 of my readers a free roll. All you have to do is leave a comment, it can be about anything, and you are entered to win.
