What is Masking Tape?
Masking tape is a specially developed tape that serves multiple purposes. It helps protect surrounding surfaces from overspray, ensures clean paint lines, and can be easily and cleanly removed once the task is completed. 3M's masking tapes adhere well, resist solvents or water from the paint, and are strong enough to hang plastic sheeting. The crepe paper backing of the tape allows it to conform to curved and irregular surfaces. Additionally, the tape can be torn by hand, eliminating the need for tools during application.
