Whether you’re an experienced tradesperson or an enthusiastic D.I.Y.er, ensure a spectacular result for any paint project by putting in the prep work.
ScotchBlue™ Original Painter’s Tape is a great all-rounder. It can stay in place for up to 14 days after application without leaving residue. For projects that need impeccable definition, ScotchBlue™ Sharp Lines Painter’s Tape is amazing at sealing out paint thanks to Edge-Lock™ Technology.
Scotch Exterior Surface Painter’s Tape is a poly-tape product that is specially designed for the outdoors, able to withstand rain and direct sunlight. If you’re planning to paint on an uneven masonry or timber surface, the extra-strong adhesive of Scotch® Rough Surface Painter’s Tape delivers an unmatched performance.
Here’s how to get the very best from your Scotch® Painter’s Tape.
Clean and dry the surface thoroughly before applying tape, ensuring it is free of dust, dirt, oil and moisture.
Unroll a length of tape and press it into position, taking care not to stretch the tape so that it does not tear or lift away.
Use a smooth-edged object such as a scraper, putty knife or credit card to firmly stick the tape down.
Allow about 30-60 minutes for the tape’s adhesive to take hold before starting to paint.
Some products are not available at all Bunnings stores but may be ordered.

Asbestos, lead-based paints and copper chromium arsenic (CCA) treated timber are health hazards you need to look out for when renovating older homes. These substances can easily be disturbed when renovating and exposure to them can cause a range of life-threatening diseases and conditions including cancer. For information on the dangers of asbestos, lead-based paint and CCA treated timber and tips for dealing with these materials contact your local council's Environmental Health Officer or visit our Health & Safety page.
When following our advice in our D.I.Y. videos, make sure you use all equipment, including PPE, safely by following the manufacturer’s instructions. Check that the equipment is suitable for the task and that PPE fits properly. If you are unsure, hire an expert to do the job or talk to a Bunnings Team Member.
