Product Description
Frequently asked
What temperature rating does this tape have?
This tape is rated to 80°C, which makes it suitable for use inside a heated spray booth. It maintains its adhesion and structure at that temperature without the adhesive melting onto your panel.
Will it leave residue on freshly painted or clear-coated surfaces?
The natural rubber adhesive is formulated to bond cleanly and release without leaving sticky residue. Peel it back at a low, steady angle while the paint is still slightly warm from the booth for the cleanest edge.
Can I use it on glass, rubber seals and trim?
Yes. It bonds reliably to glass, rubber mouldings, plastic trim and bare metal without damaging those surfaces on removal. It is a go-to for protecting adjacent panels and seals during prep and spray stages.
Does it follow curved body lines without lifting?
The tape has enough flexibility to conform to gentle curves and contours. For tighter radii, apply it in shorter sections and press the edge down firmly as you go to prevent paint bleeding underneath.
How long can I leave the tape on before removal becomes difficult?
For best results, remove the tape as soon as the paint has flashed off or while it is still warm from the booth. Leaving masking tape on for extended periods - especially in direct sun - can make removal harder and increases the risk of adhesive transfer.
Is this tape suitable for water-based paints as well as solvent-based?
Yes. The natural rubber adhesive is compatible with both water-based and solvent-based paint systems. It is a versatile choice whether you are working with modern waterborne basecoats or traditional solvent refinish products.
Can I use this tape for wet sanding or paint correction masking?
Absolutely. It is widely used to mask off adjacent panels, trim and glass during correction stages to protect areas you are not working on. Just note it is not designed for wet immersion, so keep it clear of areas that will be heavily saturated with water or solution.
What width options are available?
Width and roll length options are listed in the product variants above. For intricate masking and fine lines, a narrower width works best, while wider rolls are ideal for faster coverage of large panel sections.
