Masking Tape 3M 7100055835

3M 7100055835 masking tape is a vinyl-based tape designed for precise masking, surface protection and paint-edge definition. With a length of 33 m and a narrow 6.35 mm width, this tape suits applications that require fine lines or protection of small areas. The vinyl backing offers flexibility and conformability on irregular surfaces while the adhesive provides reliable holding power and clean removal without leaving residue.

Advantages

This vinyl masking tape combines strong adhesion with easy tearability and residue-free removal, enabling neat paint lines and minimal preparatory cleanup. Its narrow width allows for detailed work and accurate coverage of tight spots. The tape's conformable backing adapts to contours and edges, reducing paint bleed and improving overall finishing quality.

• Detail work in automotive touch-ups and crafts
• Temporary bundling or holding of light components

Key specifications

• Backing material: vinyl
• Adhesive type: pressure-sensitive
• Length: 33 m
• Width: 6.35 mm
• Removal: clean, low-residue

How to use

Ensure the surface is clean, dry and free from dust or grease before applying the tape. Unroll and press the tape firmly along the edge to be masked, smoothing it down to eliminate gaps or bubbles. For sharp paint lines, overlap slightly or use multiple runs as needed. After painting, allow the coating to become touch-dry or follow paint manufacturer guidance, then remove the tape at a low angle and in a slow, steady motion to reduce the risk of lifting fresh paint.

Usage recommendations

Use this narrow vinyl masking tape for fine-detail masking where a consistent, residue-free edge is required. Avoid prolonged outdoor exposure when high temperatures or UV may affect adhesive performance. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve adhesion and backing flexibility.
