Masking tape recommendations

Frog tape, you can pick up for about £4.50 if you shop around. I find it sticks better than cheap masking tape but I use both as needed. If masking around sockets etc and the paint has dried, try using a Stanley knife gently around the edges, it won't pull any paint off this way.0

I've never been able to master freehand so I use the stuff everywhere.
I use the cheap car boot 10 rolls for a pound stuff where it's not critical such as wall to ceiling and frog tape where a crisp sharp edge is needed such as on window frames around glass.0 -
Just used frog tape for the first time this weekend, and it definitely worked better than the cheap masking tape i've previously used. No bleed and lines were a lot crisper. That said, I did leave some of it on longer as i did a few coats, and that did pull a few bits of paint off near the skirting board!0
