FAQ

Find the most frequently asked questions about 3M™ Masking Tapes.

What is masking tape used for?
Masking tape was developed specifically to help protect surrounding surfaces from overspray, provide clean paint lines, and remove easily and cleanly when finished. Masking tapes from 3M adhere well, resist solvents or water from the paint, and are strong enough to hang plastic sheeting, yet remove cleanly without damaging the subsurface. The backing, typically crepe paper, can conform to curved and irregular surfaces. The tape hand tears for tool-free application.
How to choose the right masking tape.
Asking a few simple questions up front should narrow choices down to one or two ideal Masking Tapes:
- How much heat will the tape be exposed to?
- How long will the tape be applied before removal?
- How much holding power does the job require – low, medium or high?
- How important is a razor-sharp paint edge?
What masking tape should I use?
Depending on your requirement 3M offers the right solution for your needs. This Masking Tape Selector helps you find the proper product.
