High - Tape - The Home Depot

Question 1

What is some of the best-selling tape?

Accepted Answer

When only the best will do, we've got the high-quality tape options that customers love. One of our best-selling tape options is the 6 in. x 2 ft. Safety Walk Slip Resistant Step and Reflective Tread, and you can get it with fast, free delivery or stocked on the shelves at your local Home Depot.

Question 2

I don't want to buy too much tape. What's a good starting amount for general use?

Accepted Answer

Two rolls of standard painter's tape are a good place to start. You can cover the walls and trim of one average-sized room, or a few accent walls or stripes, with some leftover for future small jobs. One roll is generally not enough for a full room. However, two rolls give you flexibility without overbuying. If you decide to tackle more rooms, you can always buy a bundle later.

Question 3

How do I prevent paint from getting on my freshly painted trim?

Accepted Answer

The best way to protect your trim is with painter's tape. Apply the tape along the edge of the trim, pressing down firmly to seal the edge and prevent paint bleed. Cut in with a high-quality angled sash brush using a steady hand technique, and peel the tape off while the paint is still slightly wet to avoid pulling the paint off the trim. You can use a combination of delicate tape for intricate details and heavy-duty tape for larger areas. If you need some extra advice, read more in our guide on how to paint trim.
