![]() ![]() Various masking tapes are designed for different applications and should be removed within their specified time range. The backing, typically crepe paper, sticks when applied to curved and irregular surfaces without lifting or curling. Masking tape was developed specifically to help protect surrounding surfaces from overspray, provide clean paint lines, and remove easily and cleanly when finished. Under normal operating conditions the tape features one piece removal and is sliver resistant. The natural rubber adhesive bonds well to paper, metal, wood, and painted surfaces with reliable holding power that resists lifting and curling. The crepe paper backing tears easily, offers moderate conformability, and lifts off cleanly. This tape can be qualified for ASTM D-6123 (replaces obsolete PPP-T-42C, Type I, (CID-A-A-883B)). As a professional grade masking tape, it has the benefit of paint flake resistance that reduces contamination and potential rework, resulting in a professional paint job. Scotch® Paint Masking Tape 231/231A is conformable for easy masking around corners, over irregular surfaces, and offers easy handling that reduces application time. It is easy to tear, which aids in handling, yet strong enough to resist slivering, providing “user friendly,” one piece removal. ![]() The backing also has excellent dead stretch for minimal recovery. A special backsize treatment provides a smooth unwind for easy handling and reduced waste. Its smooth mini-crepe backing results in excellent surface contact and is also solvent and moisture resistant to minimize bleed-through. Scotch® Paint Masking Tape 231/231A demonstrates superior adhesive transfer resistance with clean removal that helps reduce labor and clean up. The natural rubber adhesive of our tape sticks instantly and allows fast application along with reliable holding power that resists lifting or curling. ![]() īill what happened to the Banjo you were going to bring to the meet ? Going on the piano to practice piano 101 to see if I can get the right and left hand side of the brain to talk to each other. ĭaughter had her last day at school Friday former students now in high school got together came to the school to play a concert for her departure, not a dry eye in the place. Sylvia has been having a run of bad days lately, say no more. Its been raining slightly most of the day on and off I have been installing a light and receptical in a cupboard where we store stuff, its always been dark in there because its in a hallway and you have to switch the lights on to see anything, problem was when you switched the lights on four other lights came on at the same time, now its no longer a problem. I never buy tape from a local artists store because they are always to highly priced so I buy at home depot or Canadian tire I think thereby lies the inconsistency, also if I have to tape any paper I tape it to gator board its lighter and cheaper. The heating thing works well removing the tape but there remains a slightly sticky surface on your paper which is undesirable. Bills suggestion works reasonably well but i find that some of the tapes stick too well and rip the paper when removing. First i find that the colour (green) of the other tape puts me off. Hi guys just looked in, You say tomato I say Tomarto thing most people around that i know call it masking tape around here, you call it artists tape in the states. The only reason that I have it in the first place is that I wanted to use it to mask areas within a painting (without using masking fluid) just having tried it out yet. One of the reasons that I’m not as fond of the “Frog” tape or the blue (Painters”) tape is the color it might just be me but I find having colored tape is a distraction. I’m careful about that ANYWAY regardless of the brand. I’ve never had any problems with taking it off as long as I’m careful and pull AWAY from the paper (and you can always heat it gently with a hair dryer to help it unstick). Seems like just when you’ve found something that works perfectly, a company just HAS to change it….aargh! (have found that to be true with other “products” also) :confused: If it’s any consolation, I have also noticed that the tape isn’t sticking the same on my masonite boards It also doesn’t seem to stick as well on my “Gator” board either–noticed it quite awhile ago and was NOT too happy about it (and that’s even with the “Duck” brand…). Not sure where I got the “Duck” brand (or “Tartan” either)–think it was a “Home Depot”/”Lowe’s” type of place but it might be at Walmart/Target too. The best masking tape that I’ve found is the “Duck” brand tape. I have some of that “Frog” tape–haven’t used it yet though. ![]()
