Review on 🎨 Scotch 2080EL-48E Delicate Surface Painter's Tape: 1.88 inches x 60 yards, 1 Roll, Purple - Reliable and Gentle Masking Tape by Joshua Pilla

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Not thin enough for item

I used it to frame my watercolor paintings. I used regular 3M blue masking tape and when it ran out I figured the thin version might even be better for watercolor paper. nope I gave two stars because someone else might like it. I'm not sure what's wrong with this tape, but it leaves a lot of sticky residue after it's removed. Worse, it tears my watercolor paper! I never had this problem with blue but now I've ruined 3 paintings with that stupid tape. We need to take L and take the usual masking tape.

Pros
  • Tape Removal Tips: Wait until the paint is dry to the touch before removing the tape. Lift the tape by slowly pulling it towards you and then peeling it off at a 45 degree angle.
Cons
  • So far, so good
