    Safe on Interior and Exterior Surfaces

    ScotchBlue™ Original Multi-Use Painter’s Tape adheres to both interior and exterior household surfaces. It's safe to use on baseboards and window and door trim made of heavy and smooth grain wood, metal, aluminum, or vinyl; unfinished hardwood, marble, stone, concrete, slate, vinyl, or laminate floors; and carpeting.

    For easier kitchen and bathroom updates, ScotchBlue™ Original Multi-Use Painter’s Tape also works in and around heavy grain and smooth grain wood cabinets and tile backsplashes. The tape won't cause damage to countertops, tile, caulk, porcelain, glass, or hardware (for best results, remove cabinet hardware before masking).

    This tape can even be used for exterior projects on brick, block, stone, or concrete patios, columns, and more. It won't damage vinyl, metal, or wood trim; vinyl, wood, or non-rough clapboard siding; or glass tables, doors, or hardware.

    ​Quick, Clean Removal

    ScotchBlue™ Original Painter’s Tape removes cleanly for up to 14 days and won't cause surface damage, even when exposed to direct sunlight. For clean removal, use a flexible putty knife or 5-in-1 tool and score along the edge of the tape. This will help break the paint bond between the wall and tape edge. Taking your time, lift up the painter’s tape at a 45 degree angle. You’ll get a sharp, clean line and a professional looking paint job.
