I am a part time painter. Go to your local paint store %26amp; select some 2 inch masking tape ( usually blue ). The tape comes in various release times. Some painters don't bother to read the print on the inside surface of the roll. For example 3 day release. This is the only tape I would use. The paint store should have some 8 foot or taller lightweight plastic made for covering whole wallls when you spray ceilings. Make it one stop shopping.
Sam's sells painters tape (cheaper than the blue)
Use wall tape at home Depot. I tried that before.
Go to a hardware store or a paint store they sell several brands of painters tape made just for your purpose
Blue painter's tape, agreed. But just pay attention to how fresh the paint is-- I whiffed on that one while painting a friend's living room. One hour was not enough, lol. Check the paint can's label.
Gaffer tape (also, gaffer's tape, gaff tape, gaffing tape, cloth tape, and more colloquially Jesus Tape or Rocket Tape) is a tough, fabric backed adhesive tape used in the motion picture, television, stage (music and theater) and other entertainment industries, and elsewhere. Sometimes it is spelled as ';Gaffa'; tape, a brand name. The tape is manufactured in many colours, including fluorescent and custom colours, but the most common varieties include matte black, since this blends in with the typical stage floor of a theatre, red tape for obvious warnings or as staging marks for the blocking of actors or camera, and white tape which can be used imperceptibly to an audience or camera on lighter surfaces or as visible marks on darker ones as well as often being used to seal cans of unexposed film such as short ends. The white tape is also used extensively by live sound engineers who place a strip along the bottom of the mixing board allowing them to label the channels used for a particular show. Although the tape is difficult to break by pulling, it is easily torn by hand along either axis and leaves little to no residue when removed, though it will remove patches of some paints from the surface of drywall, and can remove finishes from wooden surfaces. When cables are taped down on a stage or other surface, either for safety or to keep them out of view of the audience or camera, they are said to be gaffered or gaffed.


The tape is most likely named for the gaffer, the head of the lighting department on a film crew.


A 4'; wide version, commonly known as Dutchman's tape, is also available. This name probably came from the common method of plastering two canvas flats together. As 2'; gaffer tape is easier to deal with, it has become more commonly used. Electrics and Grips commonly carry one or more colors of 1'; tape as part of their personal kit. Gaffer tape is manufactured in six-foot tubes which are then cut into narrower rolls for sale. This means that extra-wide gaffer up to (as an extreme example) six feet can be special-ordered, though it can be hard to pull the tape from very wide rolls.


The tape is commonly referred to within the British Army as 'black and nasty'.


In the US, duct tape, although a different material, is frequently used for similar purposes outside of the entertainment industry.


1'; wide gaffer tape is often referred to as camera tape.


Gaffer Tape is also known as ';Binding Tape'; as many Library Binders will use it to finish off the binding on library books.
Blue masking tape, buy it at walmart in with paint brushes etc.
dont kno the name of the tape but its BLUE
Try the blue painter's tape. It is not very strong but it wont peel up the paint.
