Good for curves on hard edged paintings

I use this tape to mask the curved areas of hard edged acrylic paintings on primed canvas. It adheres strongly but does not lift the undercoat of paint. It stretches enough not to sag on the inside edge of the turn. To make sure the paint doesn't bleed through at all, I apply a coat of acrylic medium around the edge of the tape on the side I'm going to paint on. This creates an impermeable coating. The best tape I've ever used for this.
