Masking Tape

The Artist-Grade Masking Tape is a fundamental supply for watercolor painters, mixed media artists, and anyone who needs clean crisp edges or protected borders in their artwork. Unlike ordinary household tape, this low-tack masking tape adheres gently without damaging delicate watercolor paper or lifting paint layers when removed, even after extended exposure during a multi-session painting process. The 25mm wide smooth-surfaced tape bonds evenly along its full width, creating a clean painting boundary that prevents watercolor bleeds, acrylic drips, and ink bleeds from creeping into protected areas. Simply press the tape firmly along the edge of your paper, paint up to and over the tape, let the work dry completely, and peel back slowly at a shallow angle to reveal a perfectly crisp clean line. The tape also functions as an excellent paper-mounting tape for stretching watercolor paper onto boards before painting, preventing warping and cockling. Solvent-free adhesive is safe for all art papers.
