Things To Consider BEFORE Buying Masking Tapes There are a few things to consider before buying masking tapes. The most important thing is to consider the purpose of your tape. Do you need it for marking products? Do you need it for painting? If so, what kind of paint will you be using and how many coats? Do you need it for splicing, bundling or just general use? Knowing the purpose of your Masking Tape helps you decide which adhesive and liner is best for the job. Here are some key considerations: The type of application surface: Make sure the tape is compatible with the surface. Is it porous, textured or smooth? The type of paint: Is it oil-based or water-based? Make sure that your paint does not bleed through the tape (bleeding typically occurs with oil-based paints). Some tape manufacturers make specific masking tapes for oil-based paints and water-based paints. Temperature of application: Masking tapes can have temperature ranges; make sure that your application falls within those ranges.
