I use blue tape on just about everything so I agreed to give it a try.
This is ScotchBlue’s New Painter’s Tape Edge-Lock.
I have always had trouble with paint leaking through my blue tape in the past but this tape has the new Edge-Lock Line Protector.

Sounds good… But does it really work?
I have had a project idea in my head for sometime now and knew this would be the perfect project to try my new tape on.
I started by cutting a 1x12x4 piece of white pine into 3 even squares. If you don’t have a saw, you can have Lowe’s or Home Depot cut it for you!
After cutting my wood I used a dark mahogany stain with a foam brush to stain each of my pieces. I let the stain soak for about 15 minutes and then wiped off the excess.
Here they are dry…
Now is where the new ScotchBlue Edge-Lock came into the picture.
I decided the best test for this mighty blue tape was some spray paint!
I lined the edges of my boards with my blue tape. I lined the tape up with the sides to keep my lines straight. I then took a second line of tape to cover my edges.
A bit closer…
Now the fun part!
I sprayed each board with my red spray paint.
After letting the spray paint dry I started removing my tape.
The results…
It passed my test for sure!! Those look pretty straight to me!!!
Woohoo!! How great is that?? I did all three boards without any leaking at all.
I love this tape!
Want to see the rest of it?
Do you like them? I made them for my little lady’s nursery! I’ll show you guys how to make the owls in another post.
You will love this stuff!
For me, there was a very clear difference between ScotchBlue Edge-Lock and the other guys.
If you are looking for painter’s tape that TRULY gives you a perfect edge… This is the tape for you!

Would love to try this…I'm so tired of touching up where the painter's tape doesn't work. Love your project!
Those little signs are tooooo cute! I would love to try out this tape! Especially since I'm about to start repainting my house! 🙂
I am always looking for a better tape…Hate bleeding paint!
awesome! we are getting ready to paint pretty soon so this would be opportune timing!
Yes the tape is great but your owls take the cake. I love awesome FRUGAL artwork and this sure fits the bill. My next post has some blue tape in it but I will definitely be buying the edge lock next round. Thanks for the great product tip.
Soo cool! I despise uneven lines!
I would love to try this!
I have a few projects that I can really use this tape for so please enter me as well. Thank you.
We are painting soon, so this would be perfect. Can't wait to see the tutorial too…
Awesome! I wonder how well it works on walls? That is where I always see a little seepage!
