Masking Tape VALLEJO Flexible Masking Tape 2 mm x 55 m for Model Painting and Fine Masking

VALLEJO Flexible Masking Tape 2 mm x 55 m is a narrow, low-residue adhesive tape created for precise masking tasks in model painting and other fine-detail applications. The 2 mm width is suitable for masking thin panel lines, camo edges and small surfaces on scale models. The tape is compatible with common model paints including acrylics and enamels, and it can be applied and removed cleanly to preserve underlying paintwork.

Advantages

The tape combines flexibility and thin profile to follow curved surfaces and tight radii without lifting. Its adhesive is formulated to hold firmly during painting yet release without leaving significant residue or damaging delicate finishes. Supplied on a long roll, it reduces the need for frequent replacements during extended projects and supports continuous masking along extended seams or patterns.

Suitable for

• Masking panel lines and small details on plastic scale models
• Creating sharp camouflage edges on aircraft, vehicles and miniatures
• Temporary masking for airbrushing and hand-brushing with acrylic and enamel paints
• Fine-detail masking on resin and metal model parts

Key specifications

• Width: 2 mm
• Length: 55 m
• Flexible, thin backing for conforming to curves and tight corners
• Low-residue adhesive suitable for delicate painted surfaces
• Compatible with acrylic and enamel paints

How to use

Clean and dry the surface before applying the tape for best adhesion. Cut or tear the required length and press the tape gently into place, smoothing along curves or panel lines to ensure full contact. Paint over the masked area as required; allow paint to dry to the manufacturer's recommended time before removal. Remove tape slowly at a low angle to reduce the risk of lifting adjacent paint layers.

Usage recommendations

For best results on newly painted surfaces, wait until paint is sufficiently tack-free but not fully cured, according to paint manufacturer guidance. Test tape removal on a small hidden area if working with fragile finishes. Use the narrow 2 mm width for fine lines and switch to wider masking products for larger areas to improve efficiency.
