For those of you thinking about trying this stuff, DON'T!! I placed quite a bit of it on some luggage rack rails made of a type of plastic trim and I started taking it off in the nick-of-time. I didn't have too terrible of a time with it, but enough. Had it been another day or more and it would have been a disaster. I have green 3M tape elsewhere and it should be fine. It also has been on for a few days, but I'm about to pull it off by tomorrow before noon. The project I'm working on has been in the garage where it's been no more than 60 degrees and mostly around 50ish, so temperature shouldn't have been an issue with the Scotch Blue Edge-loc tape.
For those that aren't aware this Scotch Blue Edge-loc tape is supposed to have a chemical reaction with something in home use paint to help it gel and seal the edges of the tape creating a more defined tape edge. In other words, nothing is supposed to seep (my speller isn't with it this evening ha ha) underneath the edges of the tape as the chemical reaction causes it to gel and "close off the gap."
There may be some of you that have used the blue Scotch Blue Edge-loc tape without any trouble. Good! However, I'll never use it again. I like the green 3M Automotive tape. Never had an issue with it.
I also have a roll of green Frog tape, but now I'm gunshy.
