I bought this with just an idea of what I wanted to use it for (make chevron patterns on a clock that I was making for my mom) and this exceeded my expectations. I was able to make diamond shaped pattern putting 2 strips of chevron facing each other. I used rust-oleum spray paint on my project. The boards that they were used on was particle board. I definitely recommended frog tape for any painting project. I've used the other brand but doesn't seem to work as well. The other blue painters tape seems to let paint bleed through and this frog tape works as promised no matter what kind of paint I may use. Thanks!
