Masking tape, also known as painter's tape, is a type of pressure-sensitive tape made of a thin and easy-to-tear paper, and an easily released pressure-sensitive adhesive. It is available in a variety of widths. It is used mainly in painting, to mask off areas that should not be painted. Paper tape is widely used for color separation and painting made by hand or by spray, furniture making, automobile, and aircraft painting, appliance manufacturing, decorative glass making, powder coating, plating, and sandblasting. When it comes to painting, you want to prevent paint spills, splatters, and overspray from getting on unwanted surfaces. A full setup will include drop cloths and/or plastic drop cloths, painter's tape, and other related products. However, a must-have on any painting project is masking paper.
