Can I use masking tape to seal my moving boxes?
I wouldn't use masking tape for moving purposes. Masking tape is usually used for painting, to tape off walls. It's easily removable as to not harm the paint, so it's not ideal for packing boxes. You can use masking tape for your move, but it's not the best solution. You should go down to your local post office. They should have some packing tape for sale. But if masking tape is all you have, it should work out OK.

Why can't you use masking tape to tape electrical wires?
Masking tape isn't designed to be either insulating or watertight, so it's a really bad choice to use to tape electrical wiring together. What masking tape is designed for is paint masking then easy removal after the paint dries without leaving any residue. If you just temporarily want to tape the wires to a wall or something, it's fine, but using it on exposed wiring is a bad idea, and masking tape isn't designed for longtime service anyway. Masking tape is considered disposable, electrical tape is considered permanent. <<>> Electrical tape has an inherent insulation property. It comes in many thickness and temperature ratings. There are two main types in use in the electrical trade. The PVC tape is the everyday tape used for general insulating purposes. The second type is a rubber amalgamating tape. This type is used on large motor splices. Once the rubber tape is applied, it amalgamates into one mass of rubber to provide the proper insulation value. After the rubber tape is applied an over wrap of PVC tape is applied to provide wear protection to the splice.
Can you use masking tape on a wall you have just painted to get an even edge on the woodwork you are about to gloss?
You don't want to use masking tape. After a short time it will be hard to remove. When your new paint is good and dry, you should use the blue painter's tape. It should come off with out pulling off the paint, but I would try a small test on one spot frist.
