Hi guys, has anyone found a painters tape that works well in damp/semi-damp conditions?
I usually use the green Frog tape for taping outlets keyholes, etc. but find that it will not stick if it’s rainy at all. Wiping surfaces with a towel first doesn’t seem to help.
Edit: I meant to post this to PWR but will leave the post up just in case.
Thanks Alex ! You just reminded me I need to order. Hope all is well . Has anyone over at the PW site answered ? I’ve been using the red 3m vinyl tape for outlets and stuff.

Hey Mike! How’ve you been? I haven’t gotten too many suggestions that I haven’t already tried. DC Brock joked about using flexseal tape, lol.
how’s the vinyl tape work if it’s a little damp outside? Does it peel off clean?

Doing good buddy ! Phones are a little slow, but I’m having a better April, then last year. If I get the last week booked it will be a blockbuster April. Still time left, and it’s warming up so…
I can’t really remember if this stuff works well in the rain. Don’t think i cleaned in the rain yet this year.
But I don’t think any tape works well in wet conditions.
I went over to the PW site, and saw the type of outlets you’re talking about. Luckily it’s not brick
but what I would do is just keep the solution away … stop soaping like 10’ above, then switch to water, wet by that outlet real good till you’re ready to rinse.
Then maybe just use a pump sprayer, do that area real carefully. Even just use a rag to clean that small area around the outlet. Just an idea !
I know it’s a PIA ! Electric scares the shit out of me. I’ve been kind of working like this near electric. When there’s a bunch next to each other. I’ll even just use water no solution.
Or just rag it with a little solution on the rag , use a spray bottle or pump sprayer. 
I had this situation just the other day. Kept the solution way away from it. Didn’t even bother covering. Used a spray bottle and rag from the box to the light above
