DISCOVER JTAPE FINE LINE MASKING TAPES

Our Fine Line Masking Tapes are all made from different materials that suit the purpose they were designed for. For example, our Striping Masking Tape is polypropylene based to give it a rigid construction to prevent tearing. Meanwhile, our Orange Fine Line Masking Tape is thermally stabilised with a PVC backing and rubber-based pressure-sensitive adhesive which makes it perfect for working in higher temperatures.

The material you choose will depend on the properties you need the tape to have and the job at hand.

Although Fine Line Masking Tapes can be cut to a smaller width using scissors or a razor, it’s always best to try to purchase the correct width of tape in the first place. To cut your sections, you can use scissors or a sharp blade.

JTAPE’s Striping Tape is best to use for pinstriping since the pre-cut lines allow painters to choose from a variety of stripe width options. Whether you’re painting wide or thin stripes, this tape’s non-bleed properties make it perfect for pinstriping across a car body accurately.

While a roll of Striping Tape comes with different sections of pre-cut lines, Fine Line Masking Tapes will only come in one width per roll and need to be cut by hand to achieve a different width. For example, Striping Tape has 8 sections of 1.5mm tape which can be used to create varying widths of tape.

Fine Line Masking Tapes can be used on a wide variety of surfaces, including metal, glass, plastic, and rubber. Whether you’re working on rubber trims or metal bodywork, Fine Line Masking Tapes are suitable to be used in many situations.

The different colours help differentiate between the different properties of our Fine Line Masking Tapes. For example, our Lime Precision Masking Tape has an acrylic-based adhesive, while our Blue Fine Line Masking Tape has a rubber-based pressure sensitive adhesive.

Each colour of the tape is best suited to certain applications. While some of our Fine Line Masking Tapes have high-temperature resistance, others are non-stretch to help achieve long, clean lines.

Fine Line Masking Tapes should always be applied in one continuous strip to ensure you get the best finish. Sharply defined edges are much easier to achieve with one piece of tape rather than trying to overlay different pieces.

The best way to do this is to cut your sections to the desired length leaving some room at the end, Then, you can apply the tape slowly by laying it in the correct placement for the job and pressing it down as you move across the surface.
