So, I was recently asked to try out this product.
I use blue tape on just about everything so I agreed to give it a try.
This is ScotchBlue's New Painter's Tape Edge-Lock.
I have always had trouble with paint leaking through my blue tape in the past but this tape has the new Edge-Lock Line Protector.
Sounds good... But does it really work?
I have had a project idea in my head for sometime now and knew this would be the perfect project to try my new tape on.
I started by cutting a 1x12x4 piece of white pine into 3 even squares. If you don't have a saw, you can have Lowe's or Home Depot cut it for you!

I started by cutting a 1x12x4 piece of white pine into 3 even squares. If you don't have a saw, you can have Lowe's or Home Depot cut it for you!
After cutting my wood I used a dark mahogany stain with a foam brush to stain each of my pieces. I let the stain soak for about 15 minutes and then wiped off the excess.
Here they are dry...
Now is where the new ScotchBlue Edge-Lock came into the picture.
I decided the best test for this mighty blue tape was some spray paint!
I lined the edges of my boards with my blue tape. I lined the tape up with the sides to keep my lines straight. I then took a second line of tape to cover my edges.
A bit closer...
Now the fun part!
I sprayed each board with my red spray paint.
After letting the spray paint dry I started removing my tape.
The results...
It passed my test for sure!! Those look pretty straight to me!!!
Woohoo!! How great is that?? I did all three boards without any leaking at all.
I love this tape!
Want to see the rest of it?
Do you like them? I made them for my little lady's nursery! I'll show you guys how to make the owls in another post.
You will love this stuff!
For me, there was a very clear difference between ScotchBlue Edge-Lock and the other guys.
If you are looking for painter's tape that TRULY gives you a perfect edge... This is the tape for you!
Want to try some yourself?!?
ScotchBlue will be giving 8 of our readers their own roll of ScotchBlue Edge-Lock to try out!

Love this!!!!! Such a great idea.
cute owls! Would love to try this tape.
My husband is a painter and he says it's very rare that a tape doesn't allow any leakage. I showed him this blog and he says, "We'll see about that!" So, I need a roll of this good stuff to prove him wrong!(I love to do that!!!) Then, I am going to paint my family room and make it look wonderful!
I love that you try out these products and let us know so we don't blow our craft money on junk that doesn't work!!!
thanks for everything
I would love a roll. I am in the middle of painting the entire inside of my home......thanks
Oh! I could see some fun in my future with blue painter's tape, my new Silhouette, and spray paint. Hope I win!
WOW! That's impressive!
good (dot) cooker (at) hotmail (dot) com
wow it works! I think I'm going to go buy one, but would not mind winning as well
Only because a peeve I have is how measurements are explained...state a 1x4x12 with length being last. I couldn't visualize what size board you were working with at first until I saw your wood. Sorry...BUT the owl art is FABULOUS! So very cute...and the painters tape is a must have for every woman who loves home decor!!
i'd love to win a roll-we have so much painting to do in our house
Would love to win a roll! Regardless of how lucky I am, I am so excited to read a good review of a specific type of painter's tape. I am normally paralyzed by indecision when I'm in that section...now I know what to try next!
Those cute little owls would look great in my kitchen - can't wait to see the whole enchilada!
I've got the perfect project for this in my kitchen using chalkboard paint that's been put off forever. Would love to win.
ok I'm impressed...I need it to finish my sons science project a cyclone in a bottle..all the other tapes has like so seaped water...
I have several painting projects coming up and this could sure come in handy!
I would LOVE to give this stuff a try!
And I'm a FB follower.
i have the perfect project in mind too!!

Holy Cow! I am all kinds of impressed!
I am re-painting all of the trim in my house and if this blue tape works that well. I am all over it. It is so frustrating to have to go back and touch up because the other tapes don't keep the paint from dripping through.

Awesome! The tape and the owls!
Owls are so popular right now! I'd love some tape!
