Mr. Pen- Masking Tape, 0.6 inch, 3 Pack, Beige, Painter's Tape

Why did I just discovered this tape? There's masking tape all over the place, but a very special needs is masking tape that can be used by artists to block and mask areas on paper, and which... once the paint is dry, can be removed without the tape lifting chunks of papers. I've been creating artwork for 50 years and have always suffered the latter. This tape is magical! It truly blocks the wet paint and then, once dry, easily lifts off the paper! This sounds so casual, but it is not! If you are an artist looking for tape, forget expensive Miskit (hard to lift) - this is it!!!

Works for what it was needed for

Update: I have found an excellent use for this tape if you are a pattern maker. I use it for tracing paper, taping up reference photos (without damaging them, and for large pieces of thin 'medical paper' (the big rolls of thin paper that you can use for drafting large patterns, tracing, or for medical tables). It holds my sewing patterns together, then often tears off with little damage if I move the sheets around (e.g. Planning and moving darts). And its very easy to mark over with pencil or ink so the marks are very clear and clean. Its still thumbs-down for stretching watercolor paper as the tiniest bit of heat or water ruins the adhesive, but for holding delicate paper down temporarily, its fantastic. Original: I have tried this tape on several different pieces so far and it inevitably loses adhesion within the first real wetting. If the paper begins to buckle at all, the seam pops. And if you use a blow drier with any level of heat, it doesn't even try to hold, just gone. * Granted, all the masking tape brands I've tried do this to some degree it seems. Though I have no use for this to hold my watercolor paper, I have found its useful for plenty of other tasks, like taping a layer down for tracing a design, securing a material onto my cricut mats, and so on. Anything that is delicate enough that you don't want to damage it, but which will have very little stress added (eg. water, heat...) like taping a reference photo up, it works very well for. No residue, clean peel, easy to tear, etc. Just not a durable enough adhesive for my purposes.

Tape was as I expected expected. Happy with purchase for what I am using it for

I use it all the time. Easy to write on, easy to cut with just fingers. Perfect width.

I bought this to tape the edges of watercolor paper. The tape keeps my paper stable and does not allow the flow of color into the margins. So glad I found this. I purchased the 1/2 inch size which allows me to split the border and surface without measuring to get a 1/4 inch border on my paintings. Great product at a great price

This is a economical crafters, masking, lable tape. Not really good to use for painting as it will peel existing or newer latex off walls, cabinets etc. I used for sealing large tile grout lines for quick application of multiple layers of sealant. Tape is good for NON Critical use. EdHead DIY God.

I was looking for a low tack tape that wouldn’t tear paper for my watercolor work. This tape works better than any other I’ve had. It hasn’t ripped any part of the paper when it’s come off, and I’ve used it quite a few times already. I left it overnight on on paper, and it came off a bit, but reattached when I pressed down again. Leaves clean lines when you pull off, and doesn’t take peper with it.
