Masking Tape
Masking Tape
Masking tape is the quiet organiser of every clean paint job. It keeps edges sharp, protects surfaces, and saves you from fiddly touch ups later. From weekend refreshes to pro repaints, the right tape makes the difference between a neat finish and extra sanding and staring. BUCO stocks reliable masking tape that painters, decorators, and makers trust when precision matters.
Why Masking Tape Matters
Good masking tape sticks when you want it to and releases cleanly when you pull it away. Use it to protect skirting boards, window frames, joinery, glass, and trim. Choose the right tack level and width and you’ll avoid paint bleed, gummy residue, and ruined surfaces.
Where to Use Masking Tape
Use fine edge tape for crisp lines on cabinets and trims. Choose wider roll tape for skirting and large panels. Try low tack tape on delicate surfaces like freshly painted walls or wallpaper. For outdoor jobs pick UV resistant options made to withstand sun exposure.
Quick Tips for a Flawless Finish
Clean and dry the surface before taping. Press the tape down firmly along the edge to stop bleed. Remove the tape while paint is still slightly tacky for the sharpest line. Test a small strip first on sensitive surfaces.
