Excuse my ignorance but is there any difference between this and painters tape?
The premium stuff gives sharper lines and is less likely to damage the surface using it.

I’ve had one for 6 six years, no complaints.I’ve had my mattress for a decade, I’m thinking about dropping a grand on a purple joint. Anyone here have one?
You don’t want to caulk a tub - it needs to be silicone. (That’s maybe just a terminology thing though).
I’ve used tape for that before but now I don’t. The key to really good adhesion is a clean surface - give it a wipe with rubbing alcohol as your last stage then run a bead along it and using a silicone profiling tool ($5 on Amazon) and you’ll get a really good finish.
The problem with tape is that when you pull it off it lifts the edge slightly - you want it well stuck down.
