Scotch Delicate Surface Painter’s Tape, 0.70 inches x 60 yards, 2080, 1 Roll

Crisp sharp lines everytime

works as I'd hoped

This masking tape very useful when painting plastic models. The tape is very delicate and will not break the paint when the tape is removed. It is very important. The tape stretches a little, which is good when glued to a curved surface. I am very pleased with the purchase.

I used this masking tape at various stages of a hobby build project of a Brian May Red Special guitar. This required the oak fretboard to be painted and I used Plasti-Kote gloss black aerosol based paint and masked off the bare mahogany wood of the main part of the neck with this blue 3M tape. I also used it when applying the delicate 0.6 mm thick marquetry veneer to the guitar body and to mask off the inner cavities of the guitar. I chose the delicate surface version to minimise the risk of ripping out parts of the wood grain. I'm pleased to say that this didn't happen so the tape did its job as advertised. I also used it again when fretting the guitar and when lacquering parts of the stained, unpainted surface.

I'm using this tape to do a clean endge on my mixed-media paintings which are done on watercolour paper. It works wonderful. The edge is sharp, no paint goes under. The paint sticks well but doesn't tear paper when pulled off. Great product! Really recommend this for artists.
