Scotch® Masking Tape for Professional Painting is designed with paper backing consisting of 30% post-consumer waste fibres. It is designed with a medium adhesion rubber-based adhesive and is ideal for masking trim and woodwork around the home, office and business. For great paint results, make sure the surface is clean, dry, and dust-free so that the tape sticks properly. Next, apply the Scotch® General Painting Multi-Surface Painter's Tape onto the surface while pressing down firmly as you go. Let the tape set for about 30 to 60 minutes before painting for an optimal bond. Once finished painting, make sure the paint is completely dry before removing the tape. To properly lift it up, start by slowly pulling the tape back on itself before removing at a 45-degree angle.
