Blue Tape is Scotch-Blue™:
Not just any masking tape, but "blue tape." Blue tape is the pejorative for a low-stick masking tape developed by 3M. Brand name? Scotch-Blue™.
Low Stickability is Good:
Avoid any masking tape that does not advertise its "low-stickability" for masking interiors. Note that these types of tapes also have time limits on how long they can remain on the surface before removal.
Is Scotch-Blue™ Blue Masking Tape Better Than Others?:
I've cycled through a number of these low-sticking painter's tapes, and maybe I'm a sucker for brands, but the Scotch-Blue™ seems better than other brands. The paper tape is stronger, and is less prone to tearing. This is not some kind of empirical study, so I am open to suggestions from any readers.
