In the sticky world of painter’s tape, those that are colored blue are among the least tacky, and thus the easiest to remove. This makes them a popular choice for masking off areas when painting walls, baseboards, or trims, as you can remove strips with little worry of peeling away paint or wallpaper. But this light-duty tape is also a wonderful tool in the studio. You can use it to delineate borders for watercolor painting, to tape down quilt sections for precise alignment, and even to cover the bed plate of a 3D printer, since it offers excellent adhesion for PLA, a thermoplastic often used in those printers. No matter your need, we’ve got you covered with the best blue painter’s tapes on the market.
This painter’s tape is versatile and reliable. It isn’t super flexible, which makes it easy to lay down in a straight line, doesn’t lose adhesion or tear as you paint over it, and releases with ease while leaving little to no residue. Because it stays sticky along the edges, paint doesn’t creep beneath it to create fuzzy lines. This medium-adhesion tape is also UV resistant so you can use it with confidence both indoors and outdoors. It’s designed for use on painted walls, glass, tile, wood, metal, and other hard surfaces, but it’s also gentle enough to be used for watercolor painting without tearing the paper.
This tape is recommended for indoor use, but it’s compatible with a wide range of surfaces that are smooth or lightly textured. Among these are baseboards, tile, glass, metal, and drywall that is painted and cured. This tape is manufactured with a special backing that stretches slightly, which allows it to stick to curves and uneven surfaces while retaining edge-to-edge protection. If you’re using paints with low VOCs (volatile organic compounds), this is also a great product to consider: Many painter’s tapes don’t stick well to these nontraditional paints due to their different chemical makeup, but this one is designed to overcome that challenge.
You can keep it on surfaces for up to 14 days before removal gets challenging, giving you more than enough time to lay down two coats of paint with sanding and cleaning in between. The tape retains a strong hold to prevent paint run, resulting in clean, crisp borders.
