Painter's Tape Description

Unlike standard high-tack masking tapes that can peel away paint or damage delicate fibers, our Low Adhesion Painters Tape is engineered for "soft" contact. The ultra-thin Washi backing allows the tape to sit closer to the surface, preventing paint bleed and creating razor-sharp color transitions. Despite its low tack, it features high UV and water resistance, ensuring it performs reliably in various indoor environments.
Features & Benefits
- Safe for Fresh Paint: Specifically formulated for use on walls that have been painted as recently as 24 hours prior.
- Ultra-Thin Washi Backing: Delivers exceptionally sharp, professional paint lines with zero seepage.
- 90-Day Clean Removal: Can stay on interior surfaces for up to three months without leaving sticky residue or tearing the substrate.
- UV & Water Resistant: Maintains its integrity even when exposed to sunlight through windows or moisture from water-based paints.
- Easy Handling: Tears easily by hand while remaining strong enough to be removed in one long, continuous strip.

FAQ:

Q1: Can this tape be used on freshly painted surfaces?
A: Yes. Sensitive Surface Painters Tape is specifically designed for freshly painted walls and delicate surfaces.

Q2: How soon can I apply this tape to a freshly painted wall?
A: We recommend waiting at least 24 hours for the paint to cure, though the No. 918 is specifically designed to be gentler on fresh surfaces than standard tapes.

Q3: Will this tape work on textured wallpaper?
A: Yes. Its low-adhesion acrylic adhesive is designed to stick to wallpaper without pulling the pattern or fibers off during removal.

Q4: Is "Washi" paper different from regular masking tape?
A: Yes. Washi is thinner and stronger than standard crepe paper. This allows it to create a lower profile, which results in a much sharper paint edge.

Q5: Can I use this tape for outdoor projects?
A: This tape is optimized for 90-day indoor removal. While it is UV resistant, we recommend our higher-adhesion tapes for direct outdoor exposure to the elements.
