Posted on 9:05 am in June 2012, Over $5000, Over 13 by Lynnie

Painting with precision can be a daunting task—one that presents a challenge to both the most seasoned brush handlers and the shakiest hands amongst us. Trying to achieve crisp, clean, professional looking paint lines without the need for touch-ups can make simple paint projects that much more intimidating.

Thankfully, DIYers can breathe easy and take on even the most difficult paint projects with FrogTape® brand painter’s tape — the only painter’s tape treated with PaintBlock® technology. PaintBlock reacts with latex paint, forming a micro-barrier that seals the edges of the tape, preventing paint bleed, allowing for razor-sharp paint lines and less time on touch-ups.
