Rosin paper is commonly used to cover wooden floors to protect them from dust and debris during construction. Only blue painter's tape should be used when taping rosin paper down to cover a floor. Rosin paper should never be used on stairs because it creates a slipping hazard. Painter's tape is used on wooden floors because it has a weaker adhesive so that its removal will not mar the finish of the underlying wood. Because of the weak adhesive, painter's tape is unsuitable to attach rosin paper to steps. Under no circumstances should ordinary tape, such as clear Scotch tape, be used.

What is red tape give examples?

Any time you have paper work that you must do for some reason that is "red tape." The term comes from the 1500's when important papers were sealed with sealing wax and bound with red tape to show that they hadn't been tampered with or looked at. If the red tape and sealing wax was broken the person who got the papers knew that they had been seen, changed, or used in some way.
