Not worth the extra money
I must be doing something wrong because this tape worked no better than the blue painter's tape you get at the hardware store. I still had plenty of leaks underneath the tape - no matter how carefully I applied and pressed it down. Last night I taped the room for the stripes I was painting and by this morning the tape was curling up and almost falling off in some places.
One bright spot in the first mess with this tape was that I did discover a very easy and almost foolproof way to get crisp lines for my stripes. I found this tip online. After taping the wall put a small bead of clear caulk on your finger and wipe the edge that you will be painting. After that take a barely wet cloth and wipe the edge clean so that there is no visible caulk. Let it dry and then paint your edge. The tiniest bit of caulk that is left under the tape edge is not visible but prevented the paint from leaking under the tape. It really works great!More detail ...
