A blue painter's tape from 3M, with versions for general use, delicate surfaces and edge protection.
3M is a Minnesota company that makes ScotchBlue painter's tape, a familiar blue tape sold with many versions for different surfaces. There are options for general painting, delicate surfaces and sharp edges, as well as wider tape for protecting floors and trim. In Nashville, painters use tape to protect trim, glass, hardware and fixtures, and the right tape makes cleanup faster and finish lines cleaner.
We are an independent contractor and choose tape by surface and timeline. For long jobs, we pick tapes designed for extended removal windows and for delicate surfaces, we pick low-tack options. We apply tape to clean, dry surfaces, press edges down and remove at a shallow angle to avoid peeling. Where tape is not needed, we cut in by hand to save time.
