Vallejo T07010 Flexible Masking Tape 6mm - 18m (2 pcs) is a specialized two-roll tape set, designed for precise masking in modeling. Each roll, 6mm wide and 18 meters long, is a crucial tool for achieving sharp and clean color separation lines on various model surfaces.
Unlike standard paper tapes, Vallejo's flexible masking tape stands out with its exceptional softness and pliability. This allows for easy and precise adhesion to curved surfaces and masking complex shapes without the risk of curling or creating uneven edges at the mask line.
The tape has been developed to avoid damaging previously applied paint layers during removal and to leave no sticky adhesive residue on the model surface. However, it's important to note that the adhesive used in this flexible masking tape is less aggressive compared to paper tapes. For optimal masking results, it's recommended to ensure the tape adheres completely to the surface before beginning the painting process. Precisely pressing down the mask edges minimizes the risk of paint bleeding underneath the tape.
Features and Applications
Main Application: Ideal for precise surface masking during model painting, enabling the creation of sharp and clean separation lines between different paint colors. Excellent for plastic models, resin parts, metal models, and also for miniatures.
Flexibility and Softness: The tape's unique structure allows it to freely conform to curved and irregular surfaces, eliminating the issue of creases and curling, typical of stiffer tapes.
Safe Adhesive: The specially selected adhesive ensures safe tape removal without damaging previously applied paint layers and leaves no marks or residue on the model.
Dimensions: Each roll is 6 mm wide and 18 meters long, providing high efficiency and extended use.
Packaging: The set includes two rolls of tape, offering double utility and readiness for larger projects.
