Frog Tape

Still using a roll of blue tape to section off the area you’re painting? Stop that right now.

Frog Tape is made with what it calls “PaintBlock technology,” a specially blended polymer that repels latex paint, creating a bleed-proof microbarrier.

For crisp, clean edging, hop on over to the hardware store for some Frog Tape.

Rejuv-a-Roller

The cost of replacing disposable tools for painters can really add up.

Instead of tossing away your cheap roller covers after each use, invest in a reusable cover that’s easy to clean. The Rejuv-a-Roller slips over your paint roller and has an inbuilt attachment that hooks up to a hose, so you can clean it quickly by just running water through it from a faucet.

For even faster cleaning, get a roller spinner to dry and fluff your equipment before your next application.

Touch-Up Paint Pen

The Touch-Up Paint Pen is ideal for patching up a coat of paint without reaching for a brush.

You can fill the syringe up with any paint directly from the can, and the vacuum seal will keep it protected and pristine — it won’t dry out for years.
