Blue Hawk painters tape
« on: July 22, 2013, 09:32:12 am »
Hi everyone. Just wanted to let you all know the other day I purchased some Blue Hawk painters tape in stead of my usual brand because it was a couple bucks cheaper. I do not recommend it. It does not stick well. Lesson learned.

Junk is something you've kept for years and throw away three weeks before you need it.

Tried it myself on wall paper as I was painting trim and it would not even stick to the wall.

Thanks for heads up, I use blue tape to tape down before I glue patterns down.

My thanks also for the warning.  It sounds like that stuff wouldn't even make a good post-it note!  OTOH, it does give me a few ideas for pranks.   ;)

Well, I had (have) to laugh.  Today I was out in the shop and, remembering this thread, I looked at the inside of the roll of blue tape I am using.  It is Blue Hawk.  I can't say I have had any trouble with it sticking.  In fact, I have been a little annoyed with it peeling off a few little slivers of wood when I take it off.  Maybe you got a bad batch or maybe I just got a good one.  I am nearly through the second roll of a stack of five or six that I bought as a unit.  I see no reason to stop using it.
