masq Sensitive Masking Tape

Bought this from Bromley's a while ago. Extremely useful for masking edges of both my watercolour and coloured pencil images - leaves a good clean edge, as shown in the video. I have found it works just as well on some lighter weight papers, e.g. 90lb, without tearing the surface, as it does on heavier grades. I rate it an essential product for any artist's toolkit but please don't confuse its properties with gummed paper tape, which is much stronger and has a different purpose.

Useful for making borders round watercolour projects, just wish there was a one cm width version. Comes off without damaging paper. Tends to twist a bit when cut but as it is low tack you can easily sort it out, not like sellotape for example.

I run an art class and was almost in tears seeing students super work torn by the masking tape at the end of the lesson. I went through any number of different brands of tape trying to find something that did what it was supposed to and this is by far the best tape we tried. Adheres really lightly and seldom if ever tears the paper. Only if you get the paper really wet and try to remove it too soon. In fact such good quality that if you are careful you can reuse it again if you should wish. Thoroughly recommended.
