Paper Masking Tape Swede 18 mm x 15 m for Painting and Surface Protection

Paper Masking Tape Swede 18 mm x 15 m for Painting and Surface Protection is a crepe paper tape designed for temporary fixation and clean removal during painting and light masking tasks. With a narrow 18 mm width and 15 m length, the tape adheres on walls, wood, glass and trims to create defined paint edges and protect surfaces from splashes and drips. The adhesive is formulated for short-term use, allowing straight lines and easy peeling without leaving significant residue when removed within recommended timeframes.

Advantages

This paper masking tape offers precise application due to its thin width, making it suitable for detailed trim work and narrow edge protection. The crepe paper backing conforms slightly to uneven surfaces while remaining easy to tear by hand, enabling fast masking without tools. The adhesive balances tack and removability so the tape holds securely during painting but can be removed cleanly from most painted surfaces and glass when used as directed.

Suitable for

• Masking edges for interior and exterior painting (trim, mouldings, window frames)
• Protecting small areas of walls, woodwork and glass during renovation
• DIY craft and light workshop tasks requiring temporary fixation
• Creating crisp paint lines and separating colors in detail painting

How to use

Ensure the surface is clean, dry and free from dust, grease or loose paint before applying the tape. Measure and cut or tear the tape to required lengths, press firmly along the edge to form a secure seal and smooth out any wrinkles. Apply paint as required and allow it to dry to the touch or follow paint manufacturer guidelines. Remove the tape slowly at a low angle and in a continuous motion to reduce the risk of lifting fresh paint or leaving adhesive residue.

Usage recommendations

For best results, remove tape within 24 hours on most surfaces to minimize adhesive transfer. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or high temperatures while tape is applied, and test on an inconspicuous area if using over delicate or freshly applied finishes.
