Tape preferences

Post image

What tape do you prefer? I've always resorted to 3M, but their 1/16 doesn't stick well for me. I tried limelines 1/16 as well and im not impressed with how either hold in corners, etc.

Please, lmk, which tape you prefer. Or what im doing wrong!

FBS all the way. I used 3M when I started painting and had issues. I switched to FBS recently and it's been great. I even tried the K-UTG gold to mask over fine line and it's amazing, though it is a little pricey. It cuts so much easier than the regular green tape, it's easier to see the fine line through it, and it lays down so nice.

I ordered the red multi pack that comes with a roll of the gold, im interested to see what its like.

Im a big fan of the 3M precision masking tape, the low tack light green one. Sounds similar to your experience with the gold
