General Purpose Masking Tapes
Adhesive tapes are useful not just for packaging, but also for many other purposes such as carpentry and wall paintings. One such option that is quite useful in carpentry and other related work is the general purpose masking tapes that are also known as the carpenters masking tape.
So, what is the reason that other adhesive tapes are not used for the various carpentry activities? Well, it is due to the exclusive features that the carpenters masking tape offers.

Why Should You Buy High-Quality Masking Tape/ Carpenters Tape?
Masking tape is used by painters, carpenters and workshops for clean paint edges, for holding parts while glue sets, and for marking. A good tape sticks firmly while you work and comes off without tearing or leaving glue, if you remove it at the right time.
We make general purpose masking tape in widths from 12 to 72 mm. For paint ovens and powder coating, we also supply high temperature masking tape.
Beneficial Features of Masking Tapes / Carpenters Tape
Tears by hand: no blade needed, so it is quick to use on site.
Clean removal: it peels off without leaving glue when removed the same day or once the paint is dry.
Sharp paint lines: the crepe paper follows the surface and gives clean edges for wall designs and trim.
Holds while you work: it holds laminate, trims and parts in place while glue sets.
Writable: you can write on it with a pen or marker for labelling.
Sizes: widths from 12 to 72 mm and lengths from 15 to 50 m, with other sizes made to order. For heat jobs, ask for our high temperature masking tape.

Frequently Asked Questions
General purpose masking tape is made for short jobs, so remove it the same day or as soon as the paint is dry. If it stays on for days, sun and heat bake the adhesive onto the surface and it comes off in pieces or leaves glue. For jobs that need tape on a surface for a week or more, a long-stay masking tape is the right product, not this one.
Not general purpose masking tape. It is made for room-temperature work such as painting walls, wood and carpentry, and in an oven its adhesive breaks down and sticks to the part. For paint ovens and powder coating, use a high temperature masking tape, which we also supply. Tell us your oven temperature and time, and we will suggest the right grade.
Use 12 to 18 mm for fine edges, lines and labelling. Use 24 mm for most painting and carpentry work. Use 48 to 72 mm when you need to cover a wider strip or fix masking paper along an edge. We supply widths from 12 to 72 mm and lengths from 15 to 50 m, and other sizes can be made to order.
Only for very light boxes for a short time. Masking tape is crepe paper with a soft adhesive, made to peel off cleanly, so it does not hold the flaps of a loaded carton through transit. For shipping boxes, use BOPP tape or kraft paper tape.
Usually the tape was pulled too fast, or the paint film bridged over the tape edge and tore with it. Peel the tape slowly, back over itself at a low angle, as soon as the paint is dry to touch. On thick coats, run a blade lightly along the edge first so the paint film breaks cleanly.
