Painters tape is an acrylic based masking tape that&#;s formulated to prevent the paint from seeping through onto unwanted surfaces. Compared to masking tape, painters tape is a UV resistant, low tack tape, making it a better choice to use on walls, doors, windows, floors or ceilings. It also contains a water repellent, making it ideal to maintain clean lines when using water-based paints. Painters tape comes in a variety of types including tape for delicate surfaces, tape for rough surfaces, and tape for ultra-sharp paint lines. You&#;ll find painters tape in a variety of colors, including blue or green.
While it's not good practice to leave painters tape on for too long, there are high quality tapes that can be left on for 30 or even 60 days. A good rule of thumb is to remove the tape when the paint has dried. Learn more about how to prep for painting with painters tape in the video below.
