Brief:
Frog Tape is a maskin' tape which advertises itself as "leak proof" and removable up t' 30 days later.

Construction:
Each roll o' Frog Tape comes in its own "Tupperware" style plastic case. This probably contributes a bit to the relatively high cost. Avast! Arrr! T' rolls I bought were $9.00 at t' local Home Depot and I have nay seen it anywhere else. T' tape is a sickly green in color and is easily torn with t' fingers.

While I love rocketry, matey, t' finishin' o' rockets has always been me downfall. Arrr! I don't particularly enjoy the process but am "forced" into it because I like t' looks o' unfinished rockets even less. Part o' me dislike stems from bilge-suckin' experience. No matter how careful I try t' be, I always get a mediocre paint job.

Recently, while postin' a build thread on TRF, arrr, somebody mentioned a product called Frog Tape. Begad! T' thin' that stuck in me mind be t' claim that it allows no bleeding. Arrr! I was nay convinced, but t' next day, I found myself at Home Depot for somethin' else and saw t' tape. Begad! I bought it on impulse. That night I tried it on me Squirrel Works Firebird SST.

T' first thin' that I noticed be t' tackiness. It seemed much less tacky than even "low tack" tapes I have tried. Avast, me hearties, me proud beauty! Even so, matey, me bucko, it had no problem stayin' in place. Neither did it have problems bein' lifted and realigned. Avast, me proud beauty! When I had my maskin' in place, I pressed down t' edges and hoped for t' best, me bucko, nay expectin' anythin' more than I usually get. Begad! Ahoy! I painted t' rocket and waited.

I am pretty sure I painted it too soon after t' previous coatin' and was pretty sure that some paint would be lifted as a result. Aye aye! Begad! When I stripped t' paint, me hearties, I was amazed t' find t' lines crisp and perfect. Blimey! Arrr! It had nay lifted any paint nor had it allowed any bleed. Avast, me proud beauty! It looked...professional.

That was a new experience for me and I had t' show everyone. Avast! Even me wife, ya bilge rat, nay a fan o' me rockets, commented on how clean t' lines were. Aye aye! Ya scallywag! From that point on, me bucko, I was sold.

I have since tried it on several other projects. Blimey! Each time it has performed flawlessly. Begad! On t' most recent, ya bilge rat, I worried that might nay be t' case. Avast, me proud beauty! Avast, me proud beauty! As I sprayed on t' blue paint, ya bilge rat, I saw what seemed t' be a liftin' along one edge of the tape. Aye aye! Avast, me proud beauty! I resigned myself t' havin' t' correct it, blamin' myself for nay inspectin' t' tape more thoroughly before I started t' spray paint. Arrr! When I lifted t' tape, ya bilge rat, ya bilge rat, arrr, though, me bucko, shiver me timbers, thar was no problem. Begad! T' lines were as perfect as could be asked for.

There may be other ways o' masking, me bucko, but I am sold on this product. Arrr! I would pay whatever t' askin' price and count myself lucky t' have found it. Aye aye! Ahoy! On lookin' back though, ya bilge rat, it is nay too terribly much more expensive than other products. Well, blow me down! Avast! T' roll is expensive but t' tape is thin and thar be plenty on t' roll.

For me, matey, shiver me timbers, this has turned a process I dislike into somethin' that may someday become fun. Well, blow me down! Begad! Now if only thar was a better way t' seal balsa...
