There you are using a product for the specific purpose it was engineered to do. ❤❤ Love to get your feedback on the Orange Frogtape for protecting baseboards and trim.
I have only really used it for one roll worth, so not a lot of personal experience. However, I typically don’t have issues with bleeding using 3M, 2090 (14 day safe release) on trim and baseboards. I like the way the tape comes off the roll with the 2090, so I typically stick with it. If I had a project with older, beat up baseboards or rough caulk lines I might be more inclined to try the FrogTape to decrease the chance of bleed through. Otherwise, I don’t really see the need vs other tapes I am used to working with. I am a big fan of using different adhesion levels and types of tape for their specifically designed purpose. This is why manufacturers make so many variations in the first place 😀
Came here looking for what else to do with that case- It does seem like overkill or a bit of a waste to just toss it. BTW, I've never seen lines that sharp on textured walls. That looks great!
Then why do they sell it in multi-packs that DON'T have the plastic case? Also, another pro painter YT'er says the cases are not airtight, so that would negate the whole dried-out coating theory. The Frogtape site does explain the gel coating, but the FAQs section says only this about the case: "We like to think of masking tape as a tool. You make your tools last longer by taking care of them, storing them properly, and keeping them clean. The canister FrogTape comes in keeps it from being damaged (such as the edges being nicked), and keeps dirt and debris off the tape. You can use an empty canister for storage of nuts and bolts, screws, or nails. It is also recyclable."
Thank you for this comment. I was basing this off what I was told by a Shurtape sales rep years ago when FrogTape was first released. Perhaps it was just a sales line?
Yep the container is def not airtite. Seems way overengineered and nearly useless for all the plastic it adds to the world. I usually shitcan it pronto.

Put it in a zip lock bag, put all your tape in zip lock bags, tape turns to shit if it’s left out for months.
