White - Tape - The Home Depot

Question 1

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 4

How do I choose the right specialty tape?

Accepted Answer

Specialty tapes are designed for tackling specific tasks. Select painter's tape for painting clean edges, duct tape for general repairs and sealing, and gaffers tape for securing cables. Whatever the goals for your next project, we've got the specialty tape you need.

Question 5

What types of surfaces does this tape adhere best to?

Accepted Answer

Duct tape adheres strongly to metal, so use it for temporary fixes and general-purpose use. Double-sided mounting tape is a versatile solution, ideal for not just permanent bonding on clean, smooth metal, but also for hanging or attaching objects to plastic. For glass surfaces, go with a clear mounting tape for invisible mounting or hanging. For coated wood, apply blue or green painter's tape for temporary masking during painting and finishing.

Question 6

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.
