Question 1

Is duct tape the same as masking tape?

Accepted Answer

Although they look similar, duct tape is much stronger and designed for more heavy-duty tasks. Choose duct tape for repairs, bundling, and sealing, and go with masking tape for delicate surfaces, precise painting, or tasks that demand something easy to remove.

Question 2

How much tape do I actually need for what I usually do?

Accepted Answer

The amount of tape you need depends on room size, tape width, and project type. For painting a room, measure the linear footage of edges you need to tape, and select either a standard tape width for trim, walls, and ceilings, or a wider tape for more coverage at a slightly higher cost. Expect to use two to three rolls to repaint a bedroom, one roll to paint an accent wall or stripes, and five to six rolls to paint multiple rooms. We offer a wide range of tape lengths and bundles so that you can enjoy less waste and more convenience.

Question 3

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.
