Review on XFasten Professional Blue Painters Tape 3/4 Inch x 60 Yards (3-Pack) - Clean Release Wall Trim Tape for Sharp Lines and Residue-Free Artisan Grade Finish by George Walker

Revainrating 5 out of 5

XFasten blue tape excellent for an art class, to hold large pieces of paper on a painted wall without hurting the wall

I purchased this tape on a tight timeline, as I needed it for a class in calligraphy that I am teaching to 8 senior citizens in our community center. It came promptly, exactly when ebay said. I use this tape to hold large pieces of freezer paper (2 ft x 4 ft) to a painted wall I write on this with an oversize magic marker (the plasticized back keeps the magic marker ink from going through to the wall). I need the tape to both hold the paper securely in place while I'm using it to demonstrate calligraphy forms, and most importantly, to come easily and cleanly off without in any way damaging the paint. I don't want to be responsible for paying to repaint a wall in the community center :). I am happy to report that this tape works perfectly on all counts. I only used about a 3 or 4 inch bit on each corner, and another in the centers to hold the paper flat. Those bits held strongly enough to do the job, but came off with zero glue residue and zero damage to the underlying paint. Exactly what I always think that blue tape should do, and this does. :).

Pros
  • Residue-free
Cons
  • Only sold in a pack of 3, difficult to buy singles.
