Frog Tape 82031 Pro Painters Masking Tape, 1-7/8-Inch by 60-Yards, Green Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I must be doing something wrong, because this tape worked no better than the blue painter's tape you get at the hardware store. I still had plenty of leaks underneath the tape - no matter how carefully I applied and pressed it down. Last night, I taped the room for the stripes I was painting and by this morning, the tape was curling up and almost falling off in some places.
One bright spot in the first mess with this tape was that I did discover a very easy and almost foolproof way to get crisp lines for my stripes. I found this tip online. After taping the wall, put a small bead of clear caulk on your finger and wipe the edge that you will be painting. After that, take a barely wet cloth and wipe the edge clean so that there is no visible caulk. Let it dry and then paint your edge. The tiniest bit of caulk that is left under the tape edge is not visible, but prevented the paint from leaking under the tape. It really works great!

McCoy Attic Laddermate Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I just finished installing this cover. If installed fairly easily even for one person doing it without a helper. The trickiest part was pre-drilling the holes for the hinges and getting the device hung by the hinges. With another person holding the bulky device, this part would be easy.
I also added some additional rigid foamboard insulation on top of the attic door and between the door and the Laddermate to increase the R value.
The reason I bought the Laddermate was because it was the only insulation device I could find that would install inside the room on the ceiling. This was necessary because my attic door was installed about 50 yrs ago and the stairs don't fold like modern ones. Instead, the ladder is one solid piece that slides up into the attic before closing the attic door. The result is a 10 foot ladder laying on the attic floor and attached to the attic door. None of the in-attic insulating devices would work with this configuration.
For most modern folding ladders, the Laddermate is probably big enough, but I would probably choose an in-attic insulation fix if this was possible.
I mis-measured my attic door before ordering the Laddermate and discovered that the Laddermate was not long enough to cover the entire opening for my attic door. I solved the size problem by covering the remaining part of the door with rigid foamboard and weatherstripping. I will paint the Laddermate, the foamboard and the ceiling when the weather warms up. The aesthetics aren't the best, but it should do the job.

The Attic Laddermate will seals and insulates the attic ladder door and opening, without restricting access. It consists of an R-10 insulated panel with a 2 inch EPS foam and weatherstrip gasket. This one model will fits the four most popular sizes of attic ladders, including 22.5 x 48, 22.5 x 54, 25 x 48, and 25 x 54. It has a 30 inch long push/pull rod and a hinged panel to ease access. On new construction installing an Attic Laddermate beneath the pull-down ladder will eliminate the need for finish trim around the opening. ?Dimensions 30 x 60 x 2.5?Manufacturer Warranty 15 years?Origin United States Qualifies for 30% Federal Tax Credit
