Masking Tape VALLEJO Softouch Velvet Masking Tape 1 — 2 mm x 25 m

VALLEJO Softouch Velvet Masking Tape 1 is a narrow precision masking tape 2 mm wide and 25 m long, made for detailed painting, modeling and craft applications. The tape features a soft-touch backing that allows for controlled handling and placement along fine edges and small surfaces. Its adhesive strength is balanced to hold securely during painting yet remove cleanly without leaving significant residue when used as directed.

Advantages

The soft-touch material improves finger control and placement for narrow lines, while the moderate adhesive prevents lifting paint or damaging delicate surfaces. The 2 mm width is suited to creating thin, consistent masks for panel lines, trim pieces and decorative details. A 25 m roll provides a long supply for multiple projects without frequent replacement.

• Scale model detailing and panel line masking

How to use

Cut or tear required lengths of the VALLEJO Softouch Velvet Masking Tape 1 and apply them gently to clean, dry surfaces. Press the tape edges down firmly to ensure a good seal, especially along curved or textured areas. After painting, allow the coating to dry to the manufacturer's recommended tack-free time before removing the tape slowly and steadily at a low angle to reduce the risk of lifting paint.

Usage recommendations

For best results, test adhesion on a small hidden area first and avoid prolonged exposure to strong sunlight or high temperatures while taped. Replace the tape if adhesive buildup or loss of tack is observed. Use appropriate painting and drying procedures for the paint system in use to ensure clean lines and easy removal.
