Tape & Masking Supplies

The paint job does not necessarily require special skills, yet it does require certain accuracy. When it comes to painting areas like windows or baseboards, you need to work precisely enough to avoid drips and even out the contour. Alternatively, you can use a masking tape to ensure flawless application and sharpen the lines. Tapes and masking supplies come in a variety of materials and sizes. If you need to protect wider areas from unwanted paint drops, you can do that by using poly sheeting. Just attach this thick clear plastic sheet to the surface using painter’s tape.

When selecting masking supplies for your paint job, it is crucial that you consider the material of the surface that’s being painted. That’s because masking tapes feature different backing materials, which are made for ultimate and residue-free adhesion to certain surface types. Usually, the description of masking supplies says which kind of surface they are made for. Whether it is wood, glass, metal or even carpeted areas, it’s always better to pick the right masking tape to ensure a quality paint job. In the case of matte or dusty surfaces, it’s better to pick the masking tape with polyethylene backing, as it will stay in place without leaving residue.
