Every day we receive many questions like this:
“I am renovating an old house, and I've found very susceptible to pulling up the old paint when I'm masking on it for paint repairs. I’m currently using a paper tape for masking. Is there a lower tack tape or other tricks to help prevent pulling paint when removing the masking?”
Do you find yourself in these words? Here’s the suggestion we give to professionals who find themselves with this need.
The answer is simple: to prevent pulling up paint you need a tape with a lighter adhesion. This doesn’t mean that you’ll get a worse performance, because sometimes the less tacky tapes actually stick better!
Yes, paper tape can be ok for regular paint jobs, but if you are looking for a professional finish on delicate surfaces, we highly recommend you to choose a masking tape with low tack adhesion, which is compatible with most types of paint and adapts to multiple and irregular surfaces.
This way, you are sure to achieve an easy and clean removal without leaving adhesive residue on the application surface, even on extra delicate or freshly painted surfaces.
This kind of masking tape also works very well on wallpapers and in any project where low tape adhesion and no surface damage is a must.
