Product Information

Full details

Designed for model builders and hobbyists, the Revell Masking Tape (6mm x 10m) provides a reliable way to achieve crisp paint lines and protect delicate areas during model painting. It is an essential tool for those looking to improve the precision of their dioramas or miniatures, though users should be mindful that the narrow 6mm width is best suited for fine detailing and tight corners rather than covering large surface areas.

FAQs

Can I use this tape for automotive painting?

This tape is specifically designed for delicate plastic model kits and miniatures. It may not be suitable for large-scale automotive applications.

Does this tape leave sticky marks?

When used correctly on clean surfaces, it is designed to be removed without leaving any adhesive residue.

What is the width of this specific tape?

This tape is 6mm wide, which is ideal for fine detail work.

Is it safe for acrylic paints?

Yes, it is compatible with most standard model-grade acrylic and enamel paints.

How long should I leave the tape on the model?

It is best to remove the tape shortly after the final paint layer has dried to prevent the paint from curing over the edge of the tape.

Are there other sizes available?

Yes, Revell also offers this masking tape in 10mm and 20mm widths for larger coverage areas.

Troubleshooting

Tape is not sticking securely

Ensure the model surface is free of dust, grease, or finger oils by cleaning it with a mild degreaser before application.

Paint bleed under the tape

Ensure the tape edges are firmly burnished down using a smooth tool or your finger, and avoid applying paint too heavily against the tape edge.

Tape leaving residue

Ensure you are not leaving the tape on for extended periods in high heat; remove the tape once the paint is dry enough to handle.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent for tight corners and detailed masking
  • Leaves no adhesive residue upon removal
  • Extremely flexible for complex model shapes
  • Reliable adhesion prevents paint bleed

Cons

  • Not intended for covering large surface areas
  • Limited width requires multiple strips for wider sections
  • Requires careful storage to prevent edge dust accumulation

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This tape is ready for use right out of the blister pack. To set up, cut the desired length using a hobby knife or sharp scissors to ensure a clean end. Apply the tape firmly, pressing down along the edges to prevent air bubbles where paint could potentially seep. After the paint has reached the appropriate stage of drying (usually when it is touch-dry), pull the tape back at a shallow angle to ensure a clean break. Store the roll in a dust-free container to keep the adhesive edges clean and functional for future use.
