The verdict

1
Frog Tape
“So, if I had a semi-smooth surface to paint, I would definitely choose Frog tape. It provided some incredibly clean lines and did a tremendous job.”

Also noted
3M Scotch Blue
“Now, 3M blue and Duck Clean were very good tapes as well and I would consider using them on a smooth surface, but for semi-smooth surface, Frog tape is definitely better.”

Best value
Duck Clean Release
“there are some imperfections, it's not a perfect tape, but when you consider the price, it's definitely a far better option than some of the ones that we're about to look at”

Avoid
Duck General
“Okay, obviously Duck General didn't do very well and you may not be able to see this, but it actually pulled away some of the paint that's underneath the tape.”
