A high performance film backed tape with low profile and high adhesion to achieve excellent sharp paint lines for other masking and holding applications.
Unique, plastic film backings differentiate our fine line masking tapes from the high performance and high temperature crepe tapes.
Scotch brand fine line masking tapes provides a sharp, clean edge that other tapes cannot match. |
