Exterior Painter's Tape

• Painter's Tape Description

  Our Exterior Painters Tape is the essential choice for contractors and DIYers tackling outdoor renovations. The blue crepe paper carrier is highly conformable, allowing it to follow the curves of trim and windows while remaining strong enough to resist slivering or tearing during removal. Unlike standard masking tape, it utilizes a medium-tack adhesive formulated to provide a tight seal on semi-smooth exterior textures. Its moisture-resistant treatment ensures that humidity or light rain will not compromise your masking setup, providing professional results for multi-day painting and staining projects.

  Its smooth backing and controlled adhesion help prevent paint bleed-through, delivering sharp, clean edges on exterior surfaces. The tape removes cleanly when taken off within the recommended timeframe, reducing the risk of residue or surface damage and supporting efficient project completion.

• Features & Benefits

  • 14-Day UV Resistance: Specifically treated to resist sunlight degradation, allowing for clean, residue-free removal even after 14 days of direct UV exposure.
  • Weather & Moisture Shield: Engineered to stay securely in place during high humidity and light rain, preventing paint bleed or tape lifting.
  • Superior Paint Lines: The thin, treated backing prevents paint seepage, delivering sharp, professional edges every time.
  • Medium Adhesion Strength: Perfectly balanced for exterior substrates, providing enough "grab" to hold on siding and trim without damaging the surface upon removal.

FAQ:

Q1: How long can I leave this tape outside before it leaves residue?
A: SLAA Exterior Painters Tape is rated for up to 14 days of clean removal, even in areas with direct UV sunlight exposure.

Q2: Can I use this tape on rough surfaces like brick or stucco?
A: This tape is optimized for smooth to semi-smooth surfaces. For extremely porous or heavy textures like brick or stucco, we recommend testing a small area first or using a high-adhesion specialty tape.

Q3: Is the tape waterproof?
A: It is water-resistant and designed to handle the humidity and light moisture typical of outdoor painting environments, but it should not be used as a permanent waterproof seal.

Q4: Does it work with solvent-based stains?
A: Yes, the adhesive is formulated to be resistant to both water-based and solvent-based coatings, preventing "bleed-through" to the protected surface.

Q5: Is this tape easy to apply?
A: Yes. The tape tears easily by hand and applies smoothly, allowing for fast and efficient masking.
