How can I get an absolutely straight paint edge?

Use our premium tesa® Masking tape Professional or tesa® Masking Tape Professional Sensitive for smooth and unstructured surfaces. Both masking tapes are extremely thin and adapt to the substrate perfectly, which means the paint edge will be completely straight and without any paint running underneath the tape. Use a lighter colour to paint along the painters tape where a darker colour will be painted later. This "pre-painting" will seal any remaining hollow spaces under the tape and the result will be a perfect paint edge whatever the substrate.

I want to paint over wall paper. Will I be able to remove the masking tape without leaving marks?

Our specialist low-tack tesa® Masking Tape for wallpaper – the masking tape Professional Sensitive – is ideal for sensitive surfaces. It has less adhesion than other tesa® masking tapes and tesa® Masking Tape Professional Sensitive is the right choice for sensitive areas like wall papers, as well as for surfaces with multiple layers of paint, which have aged and could flake. Test an inconspicuous area with a strip of tesafilm® to judge the sensitivity of the overall area. The sensitivity is very high if paint flakes off when the strip is removed. The best choice for woodchip paper or other less sensitive wall coverings is our tesa® Masking tape Professional.

I want to repaint my window frames – which painters tape should I use?

We recommend using our UV-stable tesa® Masking Tape Professional Outdoor. This masking tape is weather and UV-resistant and can be easily removed for up to eight weeks after application without leaving any residue. It is extremely tear-resistant and flat for high-precision paint edges.

What can I do if the masking tape won’t come off?

The carrier of the cover tape is easier to remove when heated with a hair dryer; once warm, it can be peeled off diagonally. When adhesive tape is left in place for too long or is subjected to direct sunlight, the adhesive can become brittle and hard to remove. We recommend repeatedly applying benzine with a brush if the adhesive is on a water-proof surface. This will cause it to swell. The adhesive can then be removed with a plastic spatula. Any residue is easily wiped away with a cloth saturated in benzine.

Why doesn’t the masking tape stick properly?

That can happen if the surface is anti-adhesive. Some anti-adhesive surfaces are tiles with a special anti-adhesion coating, structured or vinyl wall papers, materials with a high silicone content, silicone resins or plasters. Surface moisture, dust or grease could be another reason why the tape won’t stick. Make sure to clean and dry all surfaces before applying painters tape.

Why does the cover tape keep tearing when I pull it off?

tesa® masking tapes are generally very tear-resistant. Try peeling it off evenly in a 45 to 90 degree angle away from the paint edge. When peeling the tape at a greater angle or too hastily, some difficult surfaces may retain adhesive residue and the cover tape may tear.

Can I use tesa® painters tape for masking off natural stone?

We generally advise against masking off natural stone. Most natural stone types have a porous exterior. When removing the masking tape, tiny particles of stone are removed as well, which can lead to unsightly stripes on the stone surface and adhesive residues are more likely to remain on these types of substrates, which a solvent would wash deeper into the stone, where they can no longer be removed.

I want to paint my boat – which painters tape should I use?

You can use our tesa® Masking Tape Professional, as it can be easily removed for up to eight weeks after application without leaving any residue.
