Asked by Simon on 17th Dec 2020Best Answer
"If your using it around the floor just to protect the floor carpet or laminate then just use an everyday masking tape from The Range or B&Q. This will cost about £2. If your using it for cutting in around the ceiling or around a light switch etc then use Frog Tape. This will cost about £7 per roll. But its well worth it if your not an experienced painter.
Hope this helps. If you"
"Brewers Paint Retailers have a wide range of tapes.
They differ according to the surface you stick the tape to.

"Hi Simon,
I recommend "tesa" or "gorilla tape"
They are very durable and can be easily torn off even after a week ...
You will find them in stores "leyland sdm", "B&Q"
Piotrek."
"Sharp edge masking tape is the go-to tape for most painters and decorators as it allows you to get a crisp line when painting. Most precision tapes will come in a range of widths and tack levels including low-tack and outdoor.
3m and Frog tape."
"you will need low tack if you use normal masking tape it will remove paint or stain you have on woodwork"
