Wouldn’t buy again: my feedback

This tape is horrible. I don’t know if I got an old package but it was way to expensive for his cheap the tape is. When I go to remove a strip of tape from the roll it just rips, not giving me a full piece. I have thrown out more than I have used. I would not recommend

Pros
  • Just what I was looking for. Fast delivery and the product is everything they said it was!
Cons
  • Cheaper version of 3M.

Hard to Remove on my review.

About 75% of this tape could be easily removed after painting the room. The remaining 25% of this tape I had to carefully scrape off with my fingernail because it wanted to stay on the molding. I'll probably return to using another brand.

Pros
  • Stays up to 60 days, can be exposed to direct sunlight and other harsh conditions and can be removed easily without leaving any sticky and messy residue.
Cons
  • The tape may not adhere well to surfaces that have been previously painted or treated with a sealant

Better than any name brand

The adhesive on this tape is fantastic and performs much better than any store bought name brand painters tape I've used in the past. I've used all of the brands, both blue and green tapes, and this by far is my favorite. One of the biggest issues I've had with painting with tape was always the ceiling. When ceilings have knockdown or rough texture, I could never get a proper seal or sharp line when peeling the tape off with past experiences. XFasten's tape sealed and held up on rough texture…

Pros
  • Straightforward to apply and remove
Cons
  • i have always like this tape

Works Okay: my feedback

Sticks fairly well . Does stop paint from bleeding. Hard to find end of tape when starting a new roll. Could use some type of marking.

Pros
  • Good quality as long as you don’t leave it on for a long time (days) as I did lol
Cons
  • The tape may leave a residue on surfaces after use, making it difficult to remove

It's easy to work with and is durable

It's easy to work with and is durable. I used it to create a faux brick wall and it was peeling when I was putting the joint compound on it so it was quite annoying. I ended up having to slather a little bit on each strip where it was going vertical to create the brick separation to keep it from peeling when I applied the compound. Other than that, it served it's purpose. I have also added this to another wall (since I've invested in a 12 ct at this point), and the wall is bigger so I'm taking…

Pros
  • Versatile
Cons
  • The tape may not be suitable for use on surfaces that are not completely cleaned or prepped beforehand

Works good for masking paint jobs

Tape stick to almost everything my only dislike about the tape is that when you get down to about 1/2 roll and if you cut the tape to short on the roll it sticks back to the roll and for me was almost impossible to find. I would most likely buy this again

Pros
  • Removes cleanly without any sticky residue. Ideal alternative to expensive Artist's Tape as it is the same premium paper tape that is mild to art papers and canvasses.
Cons
  • The tape may not adhere well to certain types of paint or finishes, causing it to peel off or not stick at all

Worthless!: my feedback

By far the worst tape I have ever used in my 54+ years. Does not stay attached to anything. Ended up having to buy some 3M tape, which is great by the way. Wish someone would have warned me like I’m warning you.

Pros
  • User-friendly
Cons
  • The tape may not provide enough coverage for areas that require a multiple-step painting process, such as blending or shading

Overall - a great buy

When I received the product, it seemed like an average roll of painter's tape. The roll is a little wider than what I usually purchase for painting inside my home but I thought it could be a nice change, especially along the molding. Turns out the width of the tape became my favorite feature. I found that it was easier to remove from the wall after painting because the width added some stability/strength to the tape. It came off the wall in a clean line, and made for easy clean-up.There wasn't…

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • The tape may not be suitable for use by those with allergies or sensitive skin, as it may cause irritation or rash

Leaves little pieces behind

I have painted sooo many rooms over the years, so I really do know what I'm doing. This tape was ok because it didn't "leak" like some other tapes I've used. BUT when I went to remove it, it left tiny little strips of blue tape wherever the paint had touched it. I had to pull off the remnants with tweezers, and ruin the nice paint line. USELESS!

Pros
  • Residue-free
Cons
  • The tape may not be suitable for use in areas with high humidity or moisture, as it may become damaged or lose its adhesion

I love this product

Love this product.Let me start by saying that I don't always use this product for the purpose for which it was intended. I have a car that does not have recessed windshield wipers and when I go through the car wash, the vacuum part of the process would try to rip my right windshield wiper off the car. I tried using the tape that the car wash provided but it generally didn't hold.So I got the brilliant idea to use painters tape. A little judicious taping and I can safely take my car through the…

Pros
  • This tape is just what I needed. ADHERES well and removes the same.
Cons
  • Tape barely sticks to aluminum

Easily tore during removal

Price was much less than other brands and we liked the variety of sizes.Went on easily enough but tore extensively during removal.What is typically for me the best part about painting, pulling the tape off and revealing a clean line, was disappointing.The paint line is not crisp and we needed tweezers to remove tape that stuck to the wall.Smaller projects it was easier to manage. Not ideal for large projects.

Pros
  • Comes in a pack of 6
Cons
  • The tape may not be suitable for use in areas with high levels of static, as it may become statically charged or cling to surfaces
