The adhesive is not as strong. Save your money and buy 3M brand

I didn’t buy this to use as painters tape, but rather to use as temporary label tape for lab items. I think this is a fairly common use for these types of tape, so it seems relevant to review it for that purpose. I typically use Duck brand. This tape seems every bit as good (maybe better) in terms of adhesion, but is quite a bit darker as more textured than the Duck brand making it very difficult to read labels written with black marker.

This worked good for painting on my smooth surface wood trim. FYI, it does not stick well at all on surfaces that are not smooth.

PROS -- Works well, good price, adequate adhesion, removes easily without leaving a residue.COMMENTS (not necessarily pros or cons -- depending on your purpose)Compared to 3M blue painter's tape (the original and the standard)--3M has significantly stronger adhesion. The IPG might be a better choice for delicate surfaces (such as paper, e.g., raw plasterboard).--3M paper feels stronger, less flexible. The IPG might be better for tightly curved lines. 3M is probably better for making straight lines.--3M is lighter blue and therefore more suitable for use as labels -- the IPG is too dark to make legible labels with a black sharpie.--The IPG tape doesn't stick well to itself --- so it is easier to pull off the roll, perfect for paint masking. But there are numerous applications/situations when I want it masking tape to stick to itself -- e.g. when used to hold a bandage in place, or to bundle poles together, or to mark/label jars --- in which case the 3M tape is superior.--For general purposes (labels, temporary band-aids, temporary attachments or bundling things together, etc) I prefer 3M.

I recently used up this roll of tape and started a roll of the brand name (3M / Scotch Original), and realized how much better Pro Mask is. The 3M tape seems thinner, and frequently tears as I pull it off the roll- I'm not sure if it's weaker, thinner, or has a stronger adhesive (maybe all of those). All I know is the Pro Mask was easier to work with.I should mention that I don't use this for painting, but for temporarily marking walls- I do lots of mounting / hanging of TVs, mirrors, shelves etc, and use tape to mark centers, studs, height of shelves etc without leaving pencil marks on walls. Usually the tape is in place for just an hour or so or less. The tape sticks well, removes easily, and rarely damages any paint (rarely some paint will come off with tape, but that happens with any blue tape in my experience- probably because of a cheap paint job or lack of primer..). So for painting your experience may be different, but for my purposes this is the best blue tape I've used.

the tape is thinner than expected but if your are careful removing it works fine. Just tears easily.

Works as well as the 'name brand', but costs a whole lot less. I had to paint the trim around the baseboards of my staircase and I have carpet, so I put tape over the carpet to hold it down on the bottom of the trim and I put tape above the trim and it was SO easy then to paint my beautiful Bright White Semi Gloss trim and make my stairway look Perfect because of this tape...it stayed where I put it for the two days it took me to complete my project and it was easy to remove and left my trim perfectly covered and not a drop on the carpet or the walls!!! thank you!!

I'm a teacher and bought this to show desk lines on carpet. It will not stick to carpet like other brands. Will not repurchase.I have used it as a painter's tape and it did a wonderful job and easily removed after several days.
