Masking Tape Q-Connect KF17481, 50 mm x 40 m, light yellow

Q-Connect masking tape KF17481 is a light yellow painter’s tape with a 50 mm width and 40 m length designed to provide precise edge definition and temporary protection during painting and renovation tasks. The paper backing and pressure-sensitive adhesive allow clean removal from a variety of surfaces including walls, wood, glass and metal, while reducing paint bleed and ensuring straight lines for both DIY and professional applications.

Advantages

The tape offers reliable temporary adhesion that sticks well without leaving significant residue when removed within the recommended timeframe. Its light yellow colour improves visibility on most surfaces, and the tape’s paper construction conforms to irregular shapes and edges for even coverage. Designed for paint masking and surface protection, it balances tack and removability to minimise damage to underlying finishes.

Suitable for

• Masking edges for interior and exterior painting
• Protecting trim, glass and fittings during renovation
• Creating straight lines and sharp paint edges on walls and woodwork
• General temporary bundling and light-duty surface protection

Key specifications

• Width: 50 mm
• Length: 40 m
• Colour: light yellow
• Backing material: crepe paper
• Adhesive type: pressure-sensitive removable adhesive

How to use

Ensure the surface is clean, dry and free of dust or grease before applying the tape. Unroll the tape and press it firmly along the edge to create a tight seal; use a straightedge or fingertip pressure to eliminate gaps that could cause paint bleed. For curved or uneven surfaces, apply in short overlapping sections to maintain adhesion. Remove the tape slowly and at a low angle after the paint has dried to the touch or within the manufacturer’s recommended removal window to reduce the risk of lifting finish.

Usage recommendations

For best results on fresh paint, remove the tape within 24 hours to 7 days depending on paint type and surface; prolonged adhesion can increase the chance of residue or paint lift. Test on an inconspicuous area before use on delicate or newly painted surfaces. Store the roll in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve adhesive performance.
