Q: What surfaces does this tape work best on?
A: The rubber adhesive bonds instantly and reliably to plastic, glass, metal, rubber, and painted surfaces, holding securely during paint application and baking.
Q: How durable is it under heat and UV conditions?
A: It resists temperatures up to 250 °F (121 °C) for up to 30 minutes, and has superior UV, moisture, and solvent resistance—making it dependable under intense refinishing conditions.
Q: Does the tape leave residue or cause paint bleed-through?
A: No. It removes cleanly with minimal slivering, resists bleed-through, and the release coating minimizes unwinding problems for cleaner paint lines.
