Q: What removal technique gives the cleanest paint edge?
A: For fine lines, remove at a 45° angle away from the edge between 60–90°F; for old/weak paint, remove closer to 180°.

Q: Will it work with waterborne and solvent-based paints?
A: Yes—its adhesive and backing are designed to resist both waterborne and solvent-based systems without bleed-through.

Q: Does it adhere to rubber and plastic trim?
A: It bonds quickly to plastics, glass, metal, and rubber (including EPDM) and removes cleanly after painting.
