themselves and the side walls in the nook. I frog taped before cutting
before I cut so that I will have a perfectly placed tape line for
painting the edges of the walnut panels.


I haven't yet tried out Frog Tape. Have you used it for painting? I've
seen several comments about the adhesive being too strong and pulling
existing paint off when the tape is removed.


I have used Frog tape before. I used it however with with a non water based
gel stain and IIRC it did well. It did not however work well when working
with a Dye stain. IIRC it is supposed to work best with water based
products.

Instructions suggest waiting at least 3 days before taping over a freshly
painted surface and state that it has a medium adhesion.

I have never used it over a painted surface, I originally bought it
thinking that it would work better than competitive products not realizing
that it works best only with keeping water based from migrating.
