• The Welding and Spark Deflection Paper can also be referred to as spark deflection masking paper, adhesive welding protection paper, flame-retardant masking roll, vertical surface protection paper, and repositionable deflection sheet.

The 3M 05916 Welding and Spark Deflection Paper offers effective, repositionable protection for vertical surfaces against weld and grind spatter. Its flame-retardant paper and adhesive backing help reduce repair needs and save time in industrial and collision repair applications.

Q: Where should this deflection paper be applied?
A: It is engineered for vertical surfaces like automotive glass, painted sheet metal, and light fixtures, protecting them from welding spatter and grinding sparks. Avoid use on horizontal surfaces, such as hoods or deck lids, where sparks may remain in place and cause burning. In those cases, use 3M 05919 High-Performance Welding Drape instead.

Q: Is it easy to adjust after application?
A: Yes—it features adhesive backing that sticks securely yet allows repositioning before final placement, helping ensure accurate coverage.

Q: How long should it be stored before use, and are there any storage limits?
A: When stored in its original sealed packaging at room temperature, it remains serviceable for up to 24 months.
