As a professional woodworker I have always used Duck Clean... It peels off easy, doesn't stick to the tape roll over time, typically doesn't tear when peeling from the roll, and is priced very competitively. I always thought the much more expensive Frog tape was a marketing trick and you have proved me completely wrong. I will definitely be using that for any paint lines I have to accomplish and keep using Duck Clean for the non-paint essentials. Thank you for the information - it's incredibly valuable. I guess it's time to become a member... :)

FInally gave in and bought a nice Bosch bit from Home Depot and it cut through like butter. A 15 pack of bits for $17.99 isn't any better of a value vs 1 bit for $8.99 when all 15 bits are garbage.

It also looks like you could maybe apply caulking to any of the tapes and they would all be pretty much perfect. Not sure if that would save you much tho.

@dennisgarber 4 года назад

@@comicalhexical Well, the caulking helped the frog tape. My guess is that it is risky, as I have spent most my Saturdays repairing the wall to perfection where pulling the tape also pulled parts of the paint off the wall. Seems to happen more for the professional series of paints that are more rubbery. He does not mention grade of caulking he used. I think I tried the caulk trick only once, but still had bleed onto baseboard. Probably will try it again.

@Tore_Lund 4 года назад

This is not how to use masking tape. You first paint with the background color on top of the tape, to fill any gaps. The when it is tacky, you paint with the other color. That way you always get a perfect line. Only applications when you can't do that, like on a not previous painted surface, or on car, the better tape is relevant.

It would be interesting to see the difference in different types of electrical crimps/plugs/solder combinations and how they hold up to harsh weather and vibration. I'm thinking for either car audio or something more practical like trailer wiring which always seems to need redone often when road salt is around. That being said this video was a real eye opener, i didn't expect any difference between brands so I've always stuck to the cheap stuff. Frog was never a brand I had considered before, but I'll definitely be seeking it out now.

@@Oddman1980 Thanks, I appreciate it. It seems like one of those things where people in a certain industry coalesce around similar opinions but then you check another industry and it's completely different. My experience says hydraulically crimped butt splices are the way to go for big stuff, but not much on a trailer or a car justifies breaking that out, so I've had luck using marine use silicone sealed plugs for the small stuff.

Id throw in a linemans splice with electrical tape/exposed to add in there. So solder with heat shrink vs linemans splices vs those flat pressure fit tabs vs wire nuts vs crimped vs ... etc

@EddieTheGrouch 4 года назад

A test like this could be a can of worms without resistance and load tests. Let's use automotive for example. To reduce costs and weight, auto mfrs have taken the load to wire size ratio to the limit. Older cars had a big honking wire from the alternator to power stuff and charge the battery. Repairing a terminal with solder worked because the heavy wire stayed cool and there was a lot of surface area for the solder. Newer cars use a much smaller wire and higher current alternators and that wire runs HOT right from the factory. A soldered connection would be weak due to inherent heat and additional heat from a higher resistance joint and fail under load. With a soldered connection, the wire and terminal has to be upsized to cope. Copper wire relaxes over time allowing crimped connections to loosen increasing resistance, heat, and letting corrosion seep between the strands and the terminal. It's worse with solid wire which is why it's not crimped but uses a screw terminal which must be re-tightened periodically. Then there is weatherproofing which can get a bit tricky due to many variables folks don't think of. My concern is that tests done with speaker wire would take the results as Gospel and apply it to connections that would fail and cause fires, damage, or injury.

I Would NOT recommend using CHEAP blue tape ( unless you are painting your project blue ) a few years ago I used dollar store or Hf blue tape on a white bathroom wall, the blue from the tape bleed through, I had to repaint several times to cover up. the sad part is I had 3m blue but wanted to try the cheap stuff . Thanx PF

You may have heard of this trick. And no I haven't tried it much.😲 Put up the masking, and what ever the base paint is, paint a strip along the edge of the tape with that paint first. That will bleed under the tape. Then use the contrasting color as normal. When the tape is removed, the color that bled under is the same paint that is supposed to be there. Anyhow,, that is the Therory, ,, I haven't done it enough to prove the concept 100 %... Thanks for your good work and sharing your videos.

@ProjectFarm 4 года назад

@TheArshooter 4 года назад

I haven't tried this technique painting a house but I've tried it painting various other objects and it works great. Sometimes I use clear coat after I put the tape down to seal it and then put the color on that I'm trying to paint

@TheFiftyQuid 4 года назад

I do the same. Typed the exact comment and then read your comment. The tape tests here helped me out for whenever I am going to do some edging next though. :)

@grantfosnot5960 4 года назад

I am a painter and can confirm this works.

@spiralhelix 4 года назад

was searching for this exact method. I've painted lots of cornhole boards, so taping and painting straight lines without bleed is a must. regardless of the tape (tried many different ones), this method standard. It's the only way to fill the voids of the material under the tape.

Been using Frog Tape for a couple of years now. My experience with it mirrors the results you got in your tests. Very good with latex paints and fairly good with oil-based paints. I also have used it for marking fingering positions on violin fingerboards as it releases well and doesn't leave much residue behind in that application.

One problem I've had with some painters tape that you didn't address, is when I mask off a freshly (but dry) painted surface many painters tapes will peel off the paint underneath it.

@ProjectFarm 4 года назад

Great point! I should have tested for that.

@larrysaylor6770 4 года назад

Try using the yellow colored frog tape, it's for delicate surfaces, it will sometimes peel the fresh paint, but not nearly as much as the others will... nothing a quick cut in with a brush will take care of

@ecospider5 4 года назад

Frog tape yellow is designed for freshly painted surfaces. www.amazon.com/dp/B004QAO9V6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_x5NKDbF2FKB5W On a heavily textured surface pre activate frog tape adhesives with a damp cloth to get even cleaner lines.

@germx1488 4 года назад

I think the paint peeling or flaking off speaks more to the paints LACK of adhesion vs. The tapes over adhesive. Just a thought I would suggest primer or roughing the surface prior to finish coat

This was great!!!!!!! I watched your video before a big painting project which involved several shades next to each other..

It was so worth it, your video saved a lot of arguments and perhaps a marriage . THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU...
