Painted wood - Tape - The Home Depot

Question 1

What's the difference between the short and long rolls of tape, and which one should I buy?

Accepted Answer

The difference comes down to length, cost efficiency, and convenience. Shorter rolls are great for small projects, portability, and occasional use. If you want more tape for your money, longer rolls are more cost-effective per yard. Select longer rolls if you frequently tackle larger projects or to avoid running out of tape mid-project. No matter how much or how often you need tape, we've got options that deliver the value you need.

Question 2

Should I use tape when painting an entire room?

Accepted Answer

The need for tape depends on your painting style, skill level, and how perfect you want the edges to look. Use tape if you want super crisp lines, stripes, or patterns, especially if you lack the skill to cut in by hand. If you're a skilled painter or using the same color on your walls and trim, you can skip the tape and focus on brushing or rolling the paint close to the edges.

Question 3

How can I apply anti-slip tape?

Accepted Answer

For high-performing traction and long-lasting safety, choose the right anti-slip tape for your concrete, wood, or metal surface. Clean the surface of dust, dirt, grease, and moisture, and let it dry completely. Measure the area and cut the tape to the right size. Press firmly to apply the tape and ensure a good bond. You can also trim any excess tape with a utility knife.
