Ratings & Reviews for Scotch Delicate Surface 0.94-in x 60 Yard(s) Painters Tape

I use this tape to cover a hardwood floor for my project and it was there for only 5 days when we finish our project we removed gently the tape and the tape came off with the clear of the hardwood floor and left the mark of the tape all around the house is not a good product

Horrible, don't waste your money.

The tape peeled off the paint. We had to redo the ceiling outline and the walls.

Horrible Tape

This tape was horrible from start to finish. At first the tape wouldn’t stick on the walls, then we couldn’t get it off the walls. The paint bled right through the tape EVERYWHERE!!!! Also when we went to take the tape off the walls it took our paint right off the wall with it. It’s a totally worthless product, it saved us no time because now we have to go back over everything.

A great find for this artist!

I have purchased several times. I use it to adhere canvas and thick paper to a wooden panel or firm base for painting . It holds very well and removes beautifully with a crisp edge and no residue left on my picture. I love the colour. It doesn't compete with whatever colours I am using. Another bonus - it is solvent free!

Bad lot number

I’ve used this tape before but I believe they have a bad lot. I used it for a high end client in a very nice high rise and it peeled off all of their very expensive wallpaper and paint. I’m now having to replace/ remove and paint and pay for damages done.

Great product when used correctly

Experimented with this during a project. Follow the information from 3m to get great results

The worst tape I ever used.

Very disappointed on this tape! It peel off the paint everywhere that I put the tape and supposed to be delicate surface did not expect that I will have extra work now. Won't buy again highly recommend do not buy this.

Tape removed paint from the bookcase

This tape did not live up to its promise. We specifically chose this to protect the back of the bookcases that we'd painted blue. After weeks of dry time, we taped up the blue edges and painted the trim work white. Days later we went to peel off the purple tape and it removed large areas of the blue, destroying all my hard work!

Wouldn't Recommend Scotch Delicate

I didn't look at the poor reviews and thought I'd give Scotch Delicate a try versus the other brand. What a mistake. The tape is extremely thin, which makes it harder to apply. Once painted it allowed leakage, not providing the fine paint line I was expecting and didn't peel off as advertised - not delicate like I was expecting. Very disappointed in this Scotch tape and definitely would not buy it again.

Must Read!!

I bought this to do a feature wall with dimensional markings using the tape for the design. Taped up the wall and it looked great. Put two coats of paint on it. I decided to wait two days to make sure the paint dried before I pulled the tape. Directions say you have up to 60 days to remove the tape. I slowly removed it and places of the paint on the wall came off. Not only that, the paint seeped slightly under the tape all throughout the whole project. I even pressed hard on the edges so that it...

2 separate failures in 1 day

We are a residential general contractor. We've used this tape successfully in the past but today with 2 different crews in 2 different cities, we experienced the same tape failure. It pulled off the paint in areas that did not have fresh paint. Is this a bad batch?

Don't use on fine interior plaster!!

I had a crew of workers at my house that hung plastic from the ceiling, which is Venetian plaster. There are now visible sticky tape lines on the ceiling. Using Goof Off and other adhesive removers just make it worse, as they thin the adhesive and work them into the pores of the plaster more. Very frustrating and expensive to fix.

Takes paint off walls!

My professionally painted walls looked great - until I tried this tape when painting the trim. The walls were fully cured (2 1/2 months) and the tape was on less than 24 hours. I now have walls that will need serious touch-ups. So frustrated

Does Tape 2080 come in white

Hello Scotch - I am a fine artist who works in watercolor. My painting surface is high-quality (very expensive) watercolor paper. Before I begin a painting, it is necessary for me to mask out the edges of my painting’s composition with masking or some other tape. The problem is that some tapes can remove or even tear the paper while it’s being removed. I am now using your Delicate Surface Painter’s Tape 2080 which eliminates this problem. Does this tape come in white as opposed to pale violet? T...

I used this tape which I’ve used before on walls but this time I used on hardwood floors to keep the brown paper down and it left racing stripes everywhere I used it. Do not I repeat do not use this on floors as it says you can.

More forgiving than classic blue painters tape

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product as a sample to test and finally found a use when repainting my bathroom ceiling. After initially trying blue tape, which removed paint from the surface I intended to shield, this delicate surface tape did what the classic blue tape wouldn't: leave the protected surface ..protected. This leaves my only lingering question: why doesn't the classic blue tape mask and leave intact a simple painted wall surface?

Painters tape worked great

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We did a painting project last weekend and this painters tape did the job perfect and removed without any residue or issues. We would purchase in the future.

Pulled old paint off the wall

This tape is terrible. I have used it twice and both times it pulled old paint off the wall. It's going in the garbage. Now I have to hope the old paint I have can be used to touch up the area. I want my money back.

Get for delicate artwork, and packing with bubble

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I I've been using this tape to send delicate items wrapped in bubble wrap. I use this purple tape to seal the bubble wrap closed, and still allow it to be reused. This tape works fantastic for that use. I have also used it to temporarily affix art to my work board, and I never have to worry about ripping the paper as I take things off. It is much better than normal masking tape It has enough adhesive to stick, yet it allows the release of the i...

Works great for painting delicate surfaces

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is great for delicate surfaces that need to be able to have the tape removed easily.
