FAQs
What does 'PaintBlock Technology' do?
PaintBlock Technology is a super-absorbent polymer that reacts to the moisture in latex paint, instantly forming a micro-barrier along the tape's edge. This barrier prevents paint from seeping under the tape, creating exceptionally sharp paint lines.
On what surfaces can I use this tape?
This tape is designed for multi-surface use, including finished wood, glass, metal, tile, and cured painted surfaces.
Can I use this tape on freshly painted walls?
No, it is recommended to use this tape only on fully cured paint. Using it on fresh paint may cause the tape to lift the paint or leave residue.
How long can I leave the tape on a painted surface?
For best results, remove the tape shortly after the paint has dried to the touch but is not fully cured. Leaving it on for extended periods increases the risk of residue or lifting.
What is the width and length of this roll?
This specific product comes in a 48mm width and a length of 41.1 meters.
How do I ensure the sharpest possible paint lines?
Ensure the surface is clean and dry, apply the tape firmly pressing down all edges, and remove it at the optimal time after painting.
Troubleshooting
Paint bleeding under the tape
Ensure the tape is pressed down firmly along all edges, paying special attention to curves. Verify the underlying paint is fully cured. Reapply tape with more pressure if necessary.
Tape leaves residue upon removal
Remove tape shortly after the paint has dried to the touch but is not fully cured. If residue remains, try gently warming the area with a hairdryer on a low setting and then carefully peeling the tape away.
Tape tears during application or removal
Apply tape smoothly without stretching. For removal, pull slowly and at a consistent angle, ideally after the paint has set.
Tape does not adhere well
Ensure the surface is clean and dry. The surface may be too porous or uneven; consider a different type of tape or preparing the surface first.
