Customer Reviews for 3M ScotchBlue 0.94 in. x 60 yds. Sharp Lines Painter's Tape with Edge-Lock

This tape is terrible. No clean lines and you have to score it with a utility knife after paint has completely dried. Will never buy again. The Frog tape is far better and I should have bought that instead.

Put it up on the wall and falls off just as fast. Adhesive doesn't stick to anything.

Tape doesn't even work for what it is made for, no stick to it

I am tired of spending all the time perfectly placing painters tape only for it to ruin the finish by peeling paint off when I remove the tape. Ruined all of my hard work.

Used to paint my daughter's room and worked great. Clean lines all around

Created my own paint job for myself

Ran out of Scotch Blue Original which was working great in this room. Grabbed this without noticing the difference. I spent way too much time today going back and reaffixing this tape.

When I went to peel the tape off, it tore in multiple pieces and became extremely timely to get off but also peeled I paint off... such a waste of time and money. Paint bleeds through the tape as well. Will never ever buy this cheap useless product again. Leaves sticky residue too.

Edge lock still bleeds. I put the tape up, its edge lock, it still bleeds

The worst painters tape ever! Was working on a special project and half way though ran out of painters tape. Quick trip to the store and grabbed this off the shelf, hoping to finish. Spent an hour placing the tape and within minutes the entire role was pealing off the wall! To clarify… Only this tape was pealing … the previous tape (purchased from a competitor) was still standing! A tremendous waste of time and money - such a disappointment! Would NOT recommend this product! Worthless!

This tape is awful. It's only good if you like to play a little game of repainting what you've already painted. It not only removed my ceiling paint but also my wall paint so I got to repaint by hand the wall paint, let it dry and then repaint the ceiling by hand. Utter waste of money, time, paint, etc. I wouldn't recommend this paint tape to an enemy. Buyer beware it will pull the paint off without fail.

First off, I started using Blue Tape when it was actually 2.0" wide and I was working for a paint contractor in H.S. and college (1987-1995). The formulas have changed and 2093 was purchased to be dual use (sharp lines and hold painters plastic while working). 2090 was changed too, as the width, the base material and adhesives are not what they used to be, but that is now what motivated me to write a review. This stuff - 2093 - doesn't stick to anything, not even the adhesive side of itself. I am attempting to put up plastic walls for dust containment during demo and everything is falling off the walls and ceiling. I even tried to "T" tape the plastic to the ceiling and it does not have the adhesive strength to hold anything up. Very frustrating. The reason I paid the premium for Blue is because it does not harm the finishes you put it on. In this case, 2093 doesn't stick to the wall long enough to damage a surface, and it DOES NOT stick long enough for you to be able to use it as TAPE. The photos show how the tape just curls off of what it is attached to and the tape that is adhesive side to adhesive side (at the ceiling) is just peeling and curling. Not working ad advertised.

I needed to paint the baseboards along my stairs. I wanted to protect my nice hardwood stairs so I opted for the more expensive ScotchBlue Sharp Lines Painters tape. I thoroughly taped off the entire set of stairs, and had two coats of paint on the baseboards in the next 48 hours. I was extremely disappointed to find out that on nearly every step the tape failed, and paint leaked through on to the stairs. What should have been a very easy cleanup of simply removing the tape has turned into nearly 6 hours on my hands and knees trying to remove the paint from the hardwood stairs. Do not waste your money on this product. I have never had a problem with the normal ScotchBlue painters tape, but the sharp lines version is a huge waste of money and time.

Not reliable. Keeps falling off walk and not sticking. Caused unnecessary stress. Had to keep pushing against the wall.

I am really happy with the outcome of my son’s Brad Eastman inspired mural. If this doesn’t demonstrate sharp lines than I don’t know what does. The tape has a strong adhesion so it’s important to pull slowly and at an angle.

I purchased this to put lines on the wall and now I have to redo it with a different product. Paint bleed through was an issue on ever line. Then when pulling the tape off the wall it would pull chunks of paint off the wall.

Absolutely failed on walls which had been primed, painted (eggshell) and taped for stripes. Do NOT recommend. This will require days of fine touch-up to correct.

Save yourself time to fix "sharp lines" and do not buy this tape!

Went to paint pretend Windows on my garage door made eight Windows every one of them bleed through had to repaint with white very disappointed will never recommend this piece of crap

The tape has inadequate adhesiveness. The tape started falling off after 10-15 min. The paint seeps through the tape. See attached pictures. Overall bad product. I returned it and bought another brand tape. I won’t recommend this product at all.

1) Doesn't stick on a clean (no dust) standard textured drywall with semi-gloss paint 2) When I reapplied the tape again, making sure to press it on, especially the edges (where it matters) this is called Sharp Lines right? See photo how un-sharp the lines were. 3) Won't buy this again!

Worthless don’t buy this. I used a 2 inch and it did just fine. This other tape is no good

We bought this tape to do a geometric wall in our child's room and it's absolute trash. As soon as the paint touched the tape it started bubbling up. Did the small wall before doing the big wall thank god because it looked like crap as soon as we pulled the tape. Do not and I repeat do not use this for any kind of painting.

I am so disappointed with this product! I have never written a review on a product till now, because I wanted to let others know it’s not worth it! I have been eager to complete my painting project since it took forever to rip off wallpaper and repair walls. Well the painting is over and I still have a mess! A paint mess, because this tape does not live to its name. No “sharp lines.” Its sad and frustrating. I was so strategic in securing the tape, especially while using a dark color— then this.

Do not waste your money on this tape. It is the absolute worst painting tape I have ever used, it did not produce ‘sharp lines’ at all and then would rip during removal! Poor quality, not worth the price. I wish I could be refunded for all the time I wasted having to fix this paint job.

I wanted to like this tape. I really did. But after applying it to mask off an area below a windowsill, it let me down. Even though I pressed the edges down HARD multiple times, it allowed paint to creep under the tape. But that's not all. When I went to remove the tape, it pulled off a section of the paint from the masked area (see pic). Now this wall was painted with two coats of Zinsser 123 Primer (each coat allowed to dry overnight), then two coats of Sherwin-Williams Emerald top coat (again, each coat allowed to dry overnight). And then the tape pulls off the paint when removed. Not cool, 3M. I returned it, and Home Depot was great to listen to my tale of woe and refund my money.

After much work measuring & taping the stripes, the tape pulled the paint off the wall. Old fashion masking tape worked just as well at a much cheaper price.

This is by far the worst painters tape I’ve used. After 3 minutes, the edges come curled off and from the trim. Please buy anything else.

I painted the bedroom and wanted to painted the baseboards and trim. I ran out of painters tape, so I bought this one. I precisely taped the walls off around the room to paint the trim. After I finished the tape fell off. I won’t be buying this again. What a waste your time and money!

If you are purchasing this tape in hopes that your new wall pain gets taken off when you remove the tape, this is great stuff! The wall paint was a month old. The tape was on the wall for three days. Normally I freehand but thought I would try taping to see if it was faster or sharper. When I removed the tape in several places (more than a dozen) on the painted drywall including some of the baseboards, the paint was removed too.
