FAQs
How long can I leave this tape on?
It is recommended to remove the tape within three days for the best results and to ensure no residue is left behind.
Is this tape suitable for delicate surfaces?
While it features strong adhesion, it is always best to perform a patch test on delicate surfaces before full application.
Can I use this tape for exterior projects?
This tape is designed primarily for interior decorating. Exposure to rain and UV light can compromise its adhesive and removal properties.
What is the width of this tape?
The tape measures 36mm in width, making it ideal for standard trim and general masking tasks.
Does the tape tear easily when I am trying to pull it off the roll?
No, it is made of high-quality paper designed to resist tearing during application.
Can I use this on freshly painted surfaces?
It is recommended to wait until the paint is fully cured or at least dry to the touch, though caution should be used to avoid pulling up existing paint.
Troubleshooting
Tape is difficult to remove
Use a hair dryer on a low, warm setting to gently heat the tape, which softens the adhesive and allows for easier peeling.
Paint bleeding under the edge
Ensure the tape edge is firmly pressed down against the surface. You can also paint a thin layer of the wall color over the edge of the tape to seal it before applying your primary paint color.
Adhesive residue left on surface
Gently rub the area with a soft cloth dampened with warm, soapy water or use a mild adhesive remover designed for surfaces.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maximize the performance of your Axus Decor Masking Tape, store the roll in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the integrity of the adhesive. When working on delicate surfaces, it is advisable to test a small, inconspicuous area first.
To ensure clean removal, peel the tape back slowly at a 45-degree angle. If the tape is difficult to remove, it may have been left on for too long or subjected to extreme temperature changes; in such cases, apply gentle heat with a hairdryer to soften the adhesive before pulling.
