Abstract: An improvement of traditional painter's tape for use after painting an object, especially a door. The tape has a conventional adhesive on one side, and a wax or wax-based coating on the opposing side. It is designed so that the adhesive side is placed against a door jamb, and the wax side is to be placed against the painted door when the door is shut. This allows the door to remain operational after painting without the possibility of the door sticking to the door jamb. The present invention can also be placed on a window sill for a freshly painted window, preventing the window from sticking to the window sill.
