Taping around moldings is an important step when painting a room, but the end result is often less than desired. Paint tends to seep under the tape, making it hard to remove and leaving an uneven line.

FrogTape from Shurtape Technologies has solved those problems by adding a thin layer of a superabsorbent material that reacts instantly with latex paint to prevent it from seeping underneath. As the tape expands, it causes a break in the paint that allows easy removal with a clean, straight line. Look for FrogTape at The Home Depot stores.
